Where did you pull that number our of?

If I'm standing next to you, wearing an elbow pad, and I hit you in the head as HARD as I can, you can be killed if you were caught the right way.

When two individuals are on the ice, skating towards each other, and the same thing happens, the force is exponentially greater. Helmet or no helmet, the danger is the same.

"As long as it doesn't happen" is the attitude that's going to get someone killed.

anything can kill you if you are hit the right way.

In my opinion, you can't bring the law into a game that encourages hitting. Regardless of certain hits being illegal, the sport of hockey promotes guys running into each other, and if every once and a while, the hit is illegal in the rules of hockey, then the sport should take care of it themselves. Throw the guy out of the league. Don't put him in jail.
