Hard to find objective data on the net.... or anywhere for that matter.
As always.. the some fail to grasp the situation.. or what is being asked. Glossing over with an opine is not the same as looking for knowledge.
Tell the people injured by fork failures their 'rare'. Does it matter ...then? Obviously not. Nothing between a rider's person and the road when a fork gives way... somewhat different accident event.
OK, while you are at it get the data on stem and handlebar failures. These have the same consequences as a fork failure.
I once had the handlebar clamp bolt on a stem break and I was on the ground instantly. Fortunately it was at a walking pace as I had left a traffic light so my injuries were very minor but, at speed, it would have been far different.
