Cycling statistics safety, deaths, etc

I found this interesting site with cited data about different types of information related
to cycling deaths and some comparisons between auto and cycling statistics.
https://bicycleuniverse.info/transpo/almanac-safety.html

Some interesting points from the site:
  • U.S. cyclists are three more likely to be killed than German cyclists and six times more than Dutch cyclists
  • An average of 16.5 cyclists per million die every year in the U.S. (For motorists, it's 19.9 motorists per million.)
  • Riding on the sidewalk is several more times more dangerous than riding in the street.
