I never said otherwise. I just said that comparing the injury rate to the existing space industry wasn't accurate.

If accidents are happening because they are moving to fast they should of course address that.

They'll still have more accidents than the regular space industry because they are on incomparable scales.

Fair enough. A quick Google tells me the rate in the automotive industry is 6.3 per 100, which is close to SpaceX at 5.9 per 100. Might be more comparable to be fair.

That might be a closer comparison ya.

Both work with large objects at large scale.

Edit: And just because SpaceX is lower doesn't mean it's fine. There's clearly room for large improvement, especially if injuries are due to moving too fast. I'd also intuitively expect higher numbers in automotive as things are larger scale (millions) and faster.
