I mean #2 is obviously correct but that shouldn't make the public feel any better. Precisely because there are downsides (including legal and political) for announcing incidents they will only do so if they have to.

The incident was reported to a federal agency. I’m not sure I’d want my medical history publicly aired if I were injured at work.

The family started a public GoFundme page. I think its clear that it is in the interest of both the family and labor at large to get stories about workplace injuries to the public.

It's interesting to note that the family has changed the main picture to remove any overt SpaceX references.
