5300 accidents involving flowerpots? That must comprise almost the entire population of flower pot owners.

I can say - hand on heart - that I have yet to suffer a serious flowerpot-related accident.

HTH the stats

How the flip can a flowerpot be dangerous, apart from the risk of tripping over it, which is hardly a problem if it is hanging over your head?

So why not ban lawnmowers first?

They should be banned imo. I've gone green and now get Raymond to cut the lawn around my victorian mansion with a hay scythe.
