Sounds like a fun base rates problem, much like when you say airplanes are much safer than cars, etc. I wonder how it breaks down by vehicle, though; 2% might be cars as a whole, but trucks vs suvs vs sedans change that up and trucks, having the highest rate of dui and accident rate (after accounting for urban density) you end up with maybe a comparable 4% rate with forklifts.
None the less, respect the forklift. They may do as many injuries per capita as an F150 but at a fraction of the speed! And in new and exciting ways!
