It's an industry. Think of all the people in casualty reduction partnerships, law enforcement, PR, local government and so forth doing their oh so important jobs, saving lives, keeping the paper mills open and stationary suppliers in business. If we start to admit that all cases of life so far discovered have been fatal they'll have nothing to do except turn the whole PR machine against anyone who says they are pointless.
As with most circumstances of this nature you'll struggle to find a pollitician who'll stand up and say enough is enough, it isn't worth thousands of man hours and tax payers pounds to reduce the number of injuries from 3000 to 2999. The safety clowns know their own jobs well enough to control the system and a massive UK disease is people who want laws to control other people.
Sorry guys; get used to it, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Anyone got a few million quid to start a political party that believes in small government and personal responsibility for the UK?
