The rule of thumb on newspaper statistics: common risks are boring, therefore not news. (Note that "car hits car" is too boring even for you to mention ;))

On the other hand, how exciting would this be: "Falling branch nearly misses skier!!!"

As someone else pointed out, daily occurrences are not worth talking about...

Heh, just today I suggested replacing motorcycles with drones on cycling tracks.
