358. One-third of people shot by Taser need medical attention.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2008/06/17/taser-injuries.html

But hey, that's according to a probe done by CBC News/Radio-Canada and the Canadian Press. That of course can't possibly be as reliable as stats from the company that makes money selling Tasers.

Oh...and there's also this nugget: "San Francisco cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr. Zian Tseng told the Braidwood Inquiry that a healthy individual could die from a Taser discharge, depending on electrode placement on the chest and pulse timing. He said that the risk of serious injury or death is increased by the number of activations, adrenaline or drugs in the bloodstream, and a susceptible medical history. After Tseng began researching Tasers three years ago, Taser International contacted him, asking him to reconsider his media statements and offering funding."
