Are head injuries a good measure of drone safety?

The FAA says 0.55 lbs is a safe drone size. That is to say, their drone registration requirements do not consider the smallest of drones to be of safety concern. Admitting that a quadcopter this small is unlikely to hurt you in a collision, is the designation smaller than it needs to be?

Head injury is a good place to focus our attention, but there are certainly other ways a drone can hurt a human – trust me, I know.
