Fewer than 2% of recent recorded accidents occur during Vegetation removal - where the victim initiates the device while engaged in the removal of vegetation. There were more Vegetation removal accidents before machines were routinely deployed to prepare areas (cutting undergrowth) in advance of manual deminers.
Accidents do not always happen during a single activity. For example, a Vegetation-removal accident may occur during a survey.
