An interesting observation. Obvious, on the face of it, but then you consider: what if they'd been shot in the little finger. Very unlikely to cause death (where prompt medical help is available). People have died from biting their nails (at least, from complications caused from subsequent infection when the skin was broken) but you'd hardly call nail biting a "deadly habit". They both lay along a scale of deadliness. I wonder how probable an action has to be of causing death before it can safely be called deadly?
