I do feel that there are several factors that play into these reductions.
1) OSHA's new standard from 1999 29CFR 1910.178 giving a standard criterea to be met for Safety Training
2) Heightened aware by owner & manufacturers for safety in the work place.
3) A large push by Dealers & Manufacturers to get everyone trained after the updated standard was released in 1999
4) Safer equipment being manufactured today

Add all of these together and you should have a steep decline in accidents.
