This proposal highlights 255 concepts of the 2794 descendants of 418019003 |Accidental event (event)| that seem appropriate to inactivate. There may be others with similar issues that have yet to be reviewed.
These concepts appear to be classification constructs and use:
negation via the use of the term “except”,
excessive pre-coordination,
“or”,
nonsensical descriptions.
The CMAG is being asked if inactivation of these concepts will cause an issue for any members.

OK in principle to remove nonsensical content.
The excessive pre-coordination dogma does not have to be invoked here (and should probably be put to rest – the only thing that matters is the right level of pre-coordination, as required by use cases. This is a bit of a personal crusade, but I think it is good to reaffirm once in a while.)
Unclear how this could impact analytics, but probably very little if these concepts are nonsensical to start with.

In principle inactivating this content will not cause any issues. However to faciliate data repair we would like to see these inactivated with a MAYBE A relationship or similar.

As mentioned elsewhere, we fully support retiring these concepts. Although the initial item seems to be to address the mapping issues, a larger task should also be undertaken to remove all similar concepts in both event and finding hierarchies. Sometimes it's not even clear what role the subject of record would have in a concept: 215606001|Submersion or drowning due to being thrown overboard, water skier injured (event)| - is the subject the person who fell overboard and drowned? or the skier (that presumably crashed into the person who fell overboard?)?
216234009|Poisoning caused by carbon monoxide from aircraft while in transit, without accident to aircraft, occupant of spacecraft injured (disorder)| 215722007|Injury in water transport caused by laundry machinery, water skier injured (disorder)|
