We got national workmens' comp stats when I was working EMS, as well as through the Fire union. Those were state/profession specific; your state workmens' comp office should have something you can peruse, but it may not be the most user-friendly format. The summation in KS was,"don't place gear in your crack." A Maglight is just as hard as a 1911.
