Post-publication commentary: "The Most Dangerous Holiday!"

Here in the United States, it is Labor Day – a Federal holiday established in 1886 by U.S. President Grover Cleveland. We, apparently, have Canada to thank for this innovation.

But, what was actually news to me – Labor Day is actually the highest-volume holiday for pediatric trauma, outpacing all other holidays. I’d have thought 4th of July – with it’s various explosive devices – would be the most popular pediatric trauma holiday, but, between 1997 and 2006, Labor Day takes the lead, followed by Memorial Day, and 4th of July as a close third. Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Year’s and Christmas round out the list, in that order.
