>Converted to the number of employees, this is three times as many emergencies – in a similar period of time – as occurred, for example, at the Audi factory in Ingolstadt.

Per capita the record is fucking awful. Move fast and break things doesn't really work for manufacturing where the things one breaks is employees. At least in civilized countries with functional employment protection laws.

Loose translation from the article on tagesschau.de for clarification:

> In Germany, work accidents need to be reported if the person injured died in the process or cannot work for more than three days.

So nope, not band-aid accidents. Actual people being injured in such a way that they need at least three days off.

> requested an ambulance or helicopter 247 times in the first year after opening alone

Kinda doubt it

This is how it is supposed to work in the United States as well. Any injury at all reported, then categorized by severity. First aid, lost lost time, etc.

Let's be real; nobody puts a band-aid on a bruise, and even a band-aid for a papercut isn't going to kick off a paperwork process in normal circumstances, even in Germany. The letter of German law may not put any lower bound on injury reporting, but that doesn't mean there isn't one in practice.
