Lol the injuries are not due to rocket launches, they are due to manufacturing. So your metric has absolutely no meaning whatsoever.

It seems like the metrics are for their whole operations, as the article highlights booster recoveries with most injuries.

That said, the tons to orbit are meaningless when we're talking about injuries per capita

Of course they are due to manufacturing (not launches), but SpaceX also manufactures and refurbishes more rockets than other launch providers. How is the metric meaningless?
