Rate is still holding close to the average of seven taser-associated deaths per month.
The small green circle in 2003 indicates approximately when the X26 taser was introduced to the market. Many of the characteristics of the X26 waveform are the opposite of what Taser had claimed were safe on the older 1999-era M26 taser. Notice what happened to the 6-month running average (black line) starting at that point; it is almost a step function from less than one per month to about seven per month.
But I guess that's just a coincidence...
