I never said I’m okay with people being injured, but it is FACT that injury rates change based off type of work.

That's a good point. We need better safety regulations for mass-manufactured space debris I imagine, since we just don't have that type so far.

I imagine to some extent they are writing their own as they go given that's the case. It probably wouldn't hurt to have regulators come in and see if any new rules are needed (and being followed). Not like ocean rocket recovery on a drone ship was a thing before.
