I think the data is for "unintentional injury" (or death from injury excluding homicide or suicide.)
This category is actually the number one cause of death for ages 1-44. The numbers are fairly constant from ages 15 to 64 but the rate jumps up by a factor of 2.5 after age 65. Assuming that retirees are not just taking up sky diving, this is probably due to increased frailty and hospitalizations caused by falls.

EDIT: It seems that in addition to car accidents, poisoning, overdoses, and falls, make up the vast majority of this category.
