Injury rates at some SpaceX facilities are much higher than the industry average of .8 injuries or illnesses per 100 workers, Reuters found.
At its Brownsville, Texas location, the 2022 injury rate was 4.8 per 100 workers.
In McGregor, Texas, where the company conducts rocket tests, the injury rate was 2.7.
Yet over the years, SpaceX has only paid meager fines as a result of its safety lapses.
SpaceX has also repeatedly failed to submit injury data to regulators for much of its history, according to Reuters.
