  The graph shows deaths. I’m sure there are quite a few more collisions that don’t end in death, but possibly severe and lasting disabilities. You don’t see a lot of subway cars colliding with other subway cars. I’m sure plenty of people run into buses though.

    I suppose, although bus collisions tend to have a pretty low fatality rate as well.

      No, he’s just saying deaths are big, but even bigger disparity is seen if you include non-fatal incidents.
