An in depth analysis of crewmember deaths in Star Trek
A serious analysis of the Red-Shirt Phenomenon in Star Trek by a marketing consultancy.
- Yellow-shirt crewperson deaths: 6 (10%)
- Blue-Shirt crewperson deaths: 5 (8 %)
- Engineering smock crewperson deaths: 4
- Red-Shirt crewperson deaths: 43 (73%)
"The red-shirt survival rate is slightly higher when Kirk meets women than when a fight breaks out."
