Anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal. We'd need to see real numbers.
But it's clear that
1) far more model rockets are launched than HPR rockets 2) in less well controlled situations.Be that as it may, it's also clear that the potential for something going seriously wrong increases with wieght and impulse, even if the risk doesn't necessarily.

YOU MEAN LIKE TRA MEMBERSHIP OR HPR SUBSCRIPTIONS?
Hey jerry, is it true you're selling usr kits on Ebay, claiming they're Aerotech kits?
Actually a smaller user pool is what drives up the cost. Rockets are small business. No one really knows the accurate cost per capita for rocket insurance. Now if there were 200 million rocketeers, like there are drivers, there would be better data. And that would reduce the error bounds and lower the cost.
Agreed tests don't lower insurance cost. Better trained fliers who know and understand the rules and flight principles reduce risk and thus reduce insurance costs. And more importantly, make our hobby safer.
