I totally agree -- as a poll this is useless, and you run the risk of making people think cycling is dangerous, when it really isn't.
However, people always enjoy talking about their old war wounds, and sometimes when I hear how someone else got hurt, I learn about ways to prevent similar injuries to myself. I know that most of my injuries were my own fault, in my case usually because I was showing off for myself or others, or because I was too stubborn to pull back when I was in over my head.
