No one would disagree about the relative injuries, however something we discovered about riding on the sidewalk is that you're *less* visible when you do have to cross the street. Cars right-hook (and left-hook) such bicyclists a lot.

OTOH, if you're mostly in front of them - in a protected bicycle lane - with no telephone posts and what-not blocking their view, the incidence is lower.
