"Training that injures you is pretty worthless"

I take it you've never trained hard then?, the reason i say this is a lot of people injure themselves in thaiboxing, kickboxing & other MA just from sparring without even competing from being human & making simple mistakes like clashing knee's or dropping your guard at the wrong moment.

Im not saying that you have to train so hard that you injure yourself but there's still a chance if you train at a very high level it will happen.

BUT if you were to talk about injury's while competing then i would say YES there does seem to be to many injury's (we held a thaiboxing show a few week's ago & had 1 broken foot, 1 damaged foot & someone with a few cracked ribs).
