(KGTV) — Friday the 13th is a day with a reputation for being unlucky and dangerous.
But is there any truth to that superstition?
A 2008 Dutch study says no.
It found there were actually fewer car accidents on Friday the 13th, perhaps because fewer people leave the house.
Also, a 2011 German study found there was no increase in trips to the emergency room or surgery blood loss on Friday the 13th.
The only conflicting finding was a 1993 British study which found accidents increase up to 52% on this day.
But that study involved just one town, so the sample size was very small.
