It would be nice if the distribution graphic of the sinuosity has units.
Also, there is a clear outlier with sinuosity 7.6. Which river is it?

I suspect there is an error in the data. The project lists the Lukuga River as being 1904 km long. But Wikipedia[1] only has 320 km, which would give it a much more ordinary sinuosity of 1.27.
For a river that might actually have a very high sinuosity, take a look at the Fraser River -- #20 on the list, with sinuosity listed as 5.12.
