It's what you would expect when they have harshly enforced production quotas. Safety is inevitably secondary in that sort of environment.
Trying to minimize the severity of the injuries is very questionable. You can't force someone to walk 10-20 miles a day after they injure their ankle. Reporting accidents resulting in missed work or doctor visits is completely normal, saying that Amazon follows the law and nobody else does is a little rich for me.
Different structures like union protection or looser production requirements provide a lot of slack. Even averaging the same production over months/years, it allows for working slowly or more carefully in situations that demand in it. Going slower because your back is feeling off is an escape valve; a fistful of Ibuprofen and hitting your hourly quota might mean a recordable injury 2 days later.
