If you drop your cell phone a lot, you’re not alone. Cellphone protection plan, Square Trade, put together a survey to find out what the top 10 clumsiest states in the U.S. are.
According to the company, the Clumsy States Index allows it to see how the past year’s events impacted device damage.
For example, the company has data that shows that 23 million Americans damage their devices during sporting events. Company analysts study information to determine if, for example, the Washington Capitals and Redskins’ teams success last season played a role in ranking DC as number one on the chart this year for clumsiness. New York City just added Wi-Fi to its subways systems in the past year; could this have played a role in the state’s position in the top 10? These are the kinds of factors Square Trade takes into consideration.
Check out the infographic below to see where your state ranks, or if it even made it on the list.
The data collected is based on claims filed by state between October 1, 2012 and September 30, 2013.
