Are there clear circumstances under which injuries are more likely during ECW use? Do the injuries and hospitalizations typically result from secondary effects—like a fleeing suspect falling and hitting their head after ECW deployment?
This was essentially my question. I am more interested in the instances that resulted in death. The ECW was involved, but I do not believe it was the cause of death. I agree this study is very broad and I think context matters. Information like this can be misconstrued to suggest that ECW's were the cause of death.
