I've never injured someone when I hit them intentionally, and I do it a lot. Obviously it can happen, from the reports above, but either I'm unlucky (if that's the right word!) or it's very rare. I just did a test of injury frequency which only included serious injuries- 5 months or longer- and HBP injuries made up only 3% of the total number of injuries. You'll see serious pitching/throwing injuries about 16 or 17 times for every 1 serious HBP injury.
