Falling while stationary is the second most common type of accidental death, can't imagine a bicycle makes it any safer lmao

Is this including the elderly who often will break a hip that way and then die of the complications? Because if so, that would not be comparable to a healthy young (< 60 yo) person falling.

Are there numbers on the average height of those fatal falls? If they're from balconies, roofs, etc., I'd say being on a bike (a few feet from the ground) would make it much safer.
