You don't get it that numbers of accidents isn't a valid metric.
It's the accident rate that matters since it's normalized properly.

Bear in mind accident-rate statistics have been compiled for a hundred
years and yet you dispute them only because you don't like what they are.

Do you know why you can't find statistics that back up your belief system?
I do.

They don't exist.

If they did exist, you'd find them.
And you haven't.
