What’s more dangerous, showers or baths?

Thanks to Fred Kilbourne and insure.com

According to the stats, bathtubs are far more dangerous than showers, both in terms of the frequency and severity of accidents. Fatalities, mostly among children average more than one per week due to scalding water, and about two per week due to drowning. The elderly don’t have a disproportionately large number of bathtub or shower accidents, although their injuries do tend to be more severe.
