In any case, the grouping of "killed or seriously injured" always strikes
me as spin. There have been dozens of incidents in my kitchen in which
someone has been killed or superficially burned.

A strikingly nonsensical argument.

I don't see what's wrong with the KSI grouping; yes, being killed is worse
than being seriously injured, but being seriously injured is still pretty
bad. If ten people are put in wheelchairs by accidents on some given road,
but nobody dies, are we to consider it safe?

The problem is that it's all to easy to chage what is SI from
one set of figures to the next to get the answer that you want.

Killed is an unfixable figure.
