57 deaths isn't a lot (in statistical terms) but this figure reminds me of the missing bullet holes:

How many injuries (some likely to be very serious) are prevented or otherwise mitigated by car seats?

I also seem to recall some old story about the introduction of helmets to combat and the "surprising" result of injury increasing (but can't find it now). As in of course injuries increase when the previous result would have been death.
