I can't read the economist article "reached your reading limit" :(
77 accidents- I assume that's injuries, not deaths, right?
I would consider the OSHA count as incomplete for the reason you say- but I doubt there is more accurate data.
Right now I'd say the numbers look reasonable to not justify preventing the entertainment industry from using robot automation in movie making alongside actors (I think that's what was being suggested?).
The more pressing concern with putting actors in the mix is that they are necessarily untrained or poorly trained participants.
Most of these accidents happen with trained personnel.
I'm not saying that Bot and Dolly shouldn't do what they're doing. I'm just interested in what their safety procedure is to prevent accidents. "Don't get hit" is not a procedure.
