You're attributing to operator error what is more likely caused by poor vehicle design, incomplete understanding of crash mechanics, and immature material science and manufacturing techniques. As early as the late 90s you could still buy a car that would force-feed you the steering column in a head-on collision.

I feel operator error (drunk driving, disregard of road rules, speed limits,signage, deteriorating vision) and so on are the cause of most road deaths.

Referring to the effects after a collision, and not the cause of the collision itself, is valid, but secondary.
