The other segment represents 'Adults over 20' at 46%, highlighting that nearly half the injuries affect adults. The "Gender of injured persons" provides a bar chart comparison with 'Male' at 74%, showing a substantial disparity, as men are more frequently injured than 'Female,' which is listed at 26%.
