Red Shirt Statistics

[Kasta Riap 0]

Someone actually did some statistical research on TOS red shirt deaths. Some quick numbers, the last being the funniest...

 

72% of deaths happened to Red Shirts.

53% probability of a Red Shirt death.

12% probability of Red Shirt death IF Kirk has an "encounter" with an alien women.

 

My conclusion, if Uhura had just given Kirk her number in the movie Vulcan would have been spared. :blink:

The former STAR TREK THE MAGAZINE did an article on Redshirt Deaths. They calculated percentages...in a tounge in cheek article. So yes people have had the time to figure out the numbers on this topic.

My conclusion, if Uhura had just given Kirk her number in the movie Vulcan would have been spared.

 

Or, more likely, if Kirk would've been able to finish what he started with Uhura's roommate.
