Curious Fact : With today's new approvals, there are 11 approved falls
in the year 2018. That is the most approved falls in a year since I
started tracking them. There are also 4 unapproved falls, bringing
the putative total to 15 falls in 2018.

 While there has been a noticeable upstick in recent years of reported
falls, this apparent bombardment is the highest total amongst the
years I have been tracking between 2000 and 2019.
