<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
This year, the National Retail Federation
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
estimates
</a>
that 114.6m Americans — more than 50% of the country’s adult population — will participate in Black Friday shopping.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Though many will stick to online sales, millions will still brave the crowds at brick-and-mortar stores, knocking elbows over TVs and holiday toys. To prepare for this retail Armageddon, big-boxers will hire hundreds of thousands of
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
seasonal workers
</a>
, open at the crack of dawn, and, most importantly, keep the paramedics on speed dial.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Every Black Friday, it seems there is at least one report of a shopper getting injured or killed in some dystopian, chaotic scene at a shopping mall.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
But do people actually die
<em>
because
</em>
of Black Friday chaos? What are the root causes of reported violent incidents? And what drives this behavior?
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
To find answers, we analyzed every Black Friday-related death reported in the US between 2006 and 2018.
</p>
<h4 style="border-left-color: #ff5a41; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 6px; display: block; font-size: 18px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 15px;">

Deaths and injuries: How many, when, and where?

<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Our first stop was
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
Black Friday Death Count
</a>
(BFDC), a site that scrapes Black Friday-related deaths and injuries reported in news headlines around the world. (Note: there are likely many incidents that go
<em>
unreported
</em>
each year, so this data is limited in scope).
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
We filtered out a small number of international incidents (3 in the UK, 2 in Canada, and 1 each in South Africa and Ireland), then read through press coverage to ensure each incident was at least tenuously related to Black Friday.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">

<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Over 12 years, we found 44 separate Black Friday-related incidents resulting in 11 deaths and 108 injuries — a relatively small figure, considering that stores saw upwards of a billion Black Friday visits during that period.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
This works out to an average of about 1 death and 9 injuries per year. But over time, these accidents don’t seem to have occurred with any degree of consistency.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
In 2006 (the first year BFDC found a reported incident), there were 11 injuries; in 2018, with much less retail foot traffic, there were still 7. Some years (2011), there were dozens of incidents; other years (2015), there were none.

<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
The dramatic spike in 2011 can mostly be attributed to 2 in-store pepper spraying incidents at Walmart.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
In
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
North Carolina
</a>
(a state routinely
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
cited
</a>
for having the heaviest Black Friday traffic in the country), a police officer “rained” down on an unruly crowd, injuring 20; in
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
California
</a>
, a woman sprayed fellow shoppers over a Bratz doll in what one patron called “customer-versus-customer shopping rage.”
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Outside of these two incidents, deaths and injuries were fairly spread out across the country, with clusters centralized in areas with higher populations, like New York and Texas. In the less-populated Midwest, shopping behavior seemed to be more civilized.

The majority of Black Friday incidents (69%) occur inside of retail stores, where tension can run high as shoppers battle over limited supplies of goods.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
About 20% of incidents happen at the store entrance as crowds first pour through the doors, and 11% take place outside a store — either in lots, where customers fight over parking spaces, or on the roads after a long day of shopping.

Among in-store incidents, Walmart is in a league of its own.

<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
A whopping 70% of all reported Black Friday-related incidents (and 3 of 11 deaths) occurred at the nation’s

of
<em>
all

Black Friday foot traffic in the US in 2018 — nearly double its next competitor, Target (1.8%).
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Only 5 other stores (Kohl’s, JCPenney, Toys “R” Us, Target, and Sears) had more than 1 reported death or injury; the rest of the incidents were isolated and spread over a dozen other stores.

Now that we’ve established

they happened.

We categorized all 119 incidents by cause — and while some are inextricably tied to the competition and scarcity of items, others stem from the more indirect and general tensions caused by large crowds.

What causes Black Friday mayhem?
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
The stereotypical Black Friday sale gone wrong includes a stampede induced by
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
thousands
</a>
of over-eager customers waiting at the entrance of a store.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
But injuries and deaths have also been caused by shootings, stabbings, fist fights, and drivers falling asleep at the wheel after a long day of shopping.

Some stampedes were the result of an in-store promotion gone wrong. In
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
2006
</a>
, a shopping mall in Southern California decided to drop 500 gift certificates from the ceiling, into a crowd of 2k; 10 people, including an elderly woman, were injured in the ensuing trampling.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Others, like a
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
2009
</a>
incident where a woman was pinned up against a concrete wall at a Tennessee Toys “R” Us and sustained a head injury, can be blamed on poor crowd management.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
“We saw a man and a woman fighting inside over a flat screen TV,”
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
said
</a>
one bystander. “This is my first Black Friday and my last. The crowds are pushy and people are downright rude.”
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Physical altercations — shootings, stabbings, and brawls — have also been common.

<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
With some shootings, there was a clear link between the act and a shopping-related dispute; others seemed to be fueled by personal conflicts that might have just as easily occurred on any other day.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
In Palm Desert, California,
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
two men
</a>
shot each other to death after their female companions got into a bloody fistfight at a Toys “R” Us. A Texas man was fatally
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
shot
</a>
in a Walmart lot after intervening in a fight. A man was shot in an apparent
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
dispute
</a>
over a parking space in Reno, Nevada.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
All 3 car accident deaths listed here were the result of the driver falling asleep at the wheel after shopping.
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
Exhausted
</a>
from an “all-night shopping spree” at an outlet mall, a California man crashed, killing 2 passengers. A North Carolina teen
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
met
</a>
the same fate.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
But perhaps the most well-known Black Friday deaths — and those that can be the most definitively linked to crowds and shopping — are the trampling incidents.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
In
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
2008
</a>
, a New York Walmart employee was overrun by a crowd of 2k shoppers, who proceeded to stream over his body as he lay on the linoleum floor. “When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling, ‘I’ve been in line since yesterday morning,’” a witness told the
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
AP
</a>
. “They kept shopping.”
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Three years later, at a West Virginia Target, a 61-year-old
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
collapsed
</a>
and died from a stress-induced heart attack. Shoppers stepped around his fallen body.

<strong>
Why are shoppers a**holes on Black Friday?
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
Such behavior begs a question: What causes people to turn into Darwinistic monsters in the face of a good deal?
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
In a pair of studies (
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
here
</a>
and
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
here
</a>
), Sharron Lennon, a professor of apparel merchandising at Indiana University, surveyed hundreds of Black Friday shoppers about their behavior. She found that misbehavior — like rushing the door or brawling over a toy car — stems from “feelings of inequality.”

As she explained to the
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">

</a>
, when we go to a store, we expect an “equitable” transaction. We hand over money, the store hands over an item.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">
On Black Friday, the civility of this process goes out the window: We’re lured in with the promise of great deals, but the process of obtaining those deals often isn’t rational or fair. More often than not, the guy who punches an old lady in the face gets the hot Christmas toy over the woman who waited in line for 2 hours in the cold.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 24px;">

<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">

than in-store.
