Had to check this one and you're indeed right: one death in 2014[0], and one death earlier about a week ago (May 2026)[1] (as well as 600+ workplace injuries [0]).

Scaled Composites has had a few deaths, too.

Less recent that I thought: https://spacenews.com/explosion-mojave-air-and-space-port-ki...

How many deaths has Facebook or Google had in that time?

Over 100 died building the hoover dam. Over 5000 building the Panama canal, and over 30,000 if you count the failed attempt.

30,000 people trip and die in their homes per year.

70,000 Americans die per year from medication error or accidental overdose.
