This advice suffers from massive survival bias. Essentially it's a list of bad things that can happen to people after which they survive (or almost survive) to the extent that they are taken to the ER and not to the morgue.
For people interested in actual causes of death, governments publish quite detailed tables with the data. I'd think it would be a better starting point for conclusions.
You want to avoid death if you can, but you also want to avoid serious injury.
