Hi Stig:


I believe you are interested in "severity of injury,"
not "potential for injury," or "risk of injury."

Here is a numerical assignment for severity of injury
that I found in my files.  I have no idea of its 
source.

    10   Death
     9   Long-term or permanent coma
     8   Full body paralysis (permanent)
     7   Loss of more than one organ or limb
     6   Loss of one organ or limb
     5   Loss of a function (permanent)
     4   Broken bone or tendon
     3   Heals with scar
     2   Heals with no scare
     1   No injury

While I can't cite any references, I believe that 
there ought to be some literature that thoroughly
discusses both risk of injury and severity of injury.
This isn't a new topic.


Best regards,
Rich
