yah, thats essentially what i said.
except that falling is part of climbing. if your equipment fails on a fall and you get injured, the equipment is the primary reason for the injury imo.
It would be like having statistics on why most skydivers die and the top result is sudden stop. It's just not interesting and informative.

Falling while single pitch and pushing your limits sure falling is common.
Alpine climbing a fall is not something you ever want to do. Running out gear is very common in say the Canadian Rockies where gear placement is terrible.
It's not the same as your sky diving comparison.
