It's much worse than that. Even if you were lying unconscious on the side of the road after getting hit by a car, and even if the police responded and they found you unconscious, after you came to, if you locked up your busted bike and limped to your doctor's office or the ER and were treated for a concussion there still might not even be a PAR, and in the unlikely event there was a PAR you'd be coded "possible injury" which isn't counted in the roll up of injury data.
(And what I've learned from the
SFW - everlasting gobstopper thread is if the folks who are sending everyone here on snipe hunts aren't even capable of
NSFW - using google, then c'est la vie, not my problem man.)
