This study of recreational deaths in the "land of sun and fun" has pointed out several useful factors. Firstly, accidental deaths are more common than naturals. Secondly, the most common accidental death is drowning while swimming. The latter is not usually at public facilities, but rather at unsupervised uninstitutionalized surroundings. Finally, a younger population is involved with a frequent number of them with alcohol detected and/or drugs.
这项对“阳光与欢乐之地”休闲死亡情况的研究指出了几个有用的因素。首先，意外死亡比自然死亡更常见。其次，最常见的意外死亡是游泳时溺水。后者通常并非发生在公共设施处，而是在无人监管的非制度化环境中。最后，涉及的人群较为年轻，其中很多人被检测出饮酒和/或吸毒。
