Poor Graphic

Never Bitten, Twice Shy: The Real Dangers of Summer (click on image for larger version)

Drawbacks

• Poor Data-Ink Ratio: most of the ink is used for fancy icons, but not for the information which should be displayed; this leads to
• Chart-Junk: because of too many eye-candy the focus on the information is lost
• Lie Factor: the position of the items on the X-axis (fear,risk) don't resemble the differences in the actual values correctly, neither do the positions on the Y-axis (injuries)
• At second thought the Risk-Fear axis is rather confusing, there's no possibility for an item with high risk AND fear to be displayed
