Was that determined by looking at the statistics or is this just your gut-reaction?

I literally do not care about 360 deaths. Now if we get to 361 deaths, I am concerned and will raise my pitchfork.

Another interesting question is how many of the other 24,000 crashes were serious. And how many additional crashes wouldn’t have been avoided but would have had a lot of kinetic energy removed before impact.

Not quite pure statistical noise but close.
