Indeed. Iirc I contributed heavily to that thread with sources and it's simply not true almost any way you slice it.
The closest proximity is using accidental vehicle deaths but it completely discounts the fact delivery drivers mostly deliver in town where speeds are low.
Unfortunately there's no good data tracking for gig work yet which would be the nearest parable.

I don’t appreciate your common sense/rationalisation or water pouring/fun dampening on the internet. Please leave.
And I'll take my crusts with me!
FWIW I was not lazy and found my old comment if anyone wants sauce. It's absolutely 100% grade-A BS from a scummy lawyer group cherry-picking data that doesn't include 'Pizza delivery' or any conventional 'delivery driver' that aren't big rigs or siilar.
