Abstract
A recent study reported that 82 American youths aged 6 to 19 years had
died of unintentional strangling while “playing the choking game” from
1995 to 2007.1 To that article's recommendations, we propose an
additional recommendation to further curtail unintentional strangulation
mortality. We propose referring to behaviors that might lead to death
from unintentional strangulation as strangulation activity rather than
playing the choking game.
