 Substance abuse increases the risk of many types of unintentional injuries. Alcohol is a factor in 60 of fatal burn injuries and drownings and 40 of fatal motor vehicle accidents and falls.
 Risky behaviors, such as drag racing or heavy alcohol consumption
 Male gender, since males account for almost 2/3 of the deaths attributed to unintentional injuries

 Environmental factors, such as poor weather and increased traffic volume
 Divided attention, since performing any potentially dangerous activity without sufficient focus increases the risk of injury
