totals for KSI ( Killed or seriously injured) drive a lot of decision making,
but I fully take on board your observations......
"However, we perhaps ought not to ignore the fact that a slight injury could
have potentially become a serious injury had it not been the carefulness of
road users and early arrival of medical care etc"
Also the same dynamics of a crash can have very different outcomes depending
on the age of the vehicle (level of primary or SRS) and/or the age(s) of the
occupants
