Would you risk it for a biscuit?

It's official - the custard cream has been found to be Britain's most dangerous biscuit. In some cutting edge research by Mindlab International the nation's favourite breaktime bikkies were evaluated for their injury risk.
Common accidents apparently are poking yourself in the eye with a biscuit, falling off a chair while reaching for the tin, choking on one, and then there are the dunking accidents caused by impatient fingers who can't wait for their brew to cool down before dipping.
Top of the injury list is the trusty custard cream and among the safest choice is the Jaffa Cake. I was somewhat perturbed to see my old favourite, Rich Tea, entering the chart at number five and I may be forced to revert to my second preference, shortbread (full butter, of course), which has a much lower injury rate.
Crumbs, you may say! Have we nothing better to do than pay people to research how the cookie crumbles? Personally, I'm all for it if it gets us talking about the humble British biscuit. They are such a comfort - dunked or crunched, there's simply nothing like one with your elevenses or afternoon tea.
Biscuits also evoke fond childhood memories - Nice biscuits at home carefully dunked (they collapse pretty fast and then they're not so nice), the excitment of Penguin biscuits at a friend's house for tea, fat arrowroot biscuits in waxed wrappers in the pub garden while mum and dad downed a shandy, digestives at granny's.
Of course, here in the U.S - 'biscuits' are the knobbly insipid scone-like concoctions that you eat with bacon and eggs for breakfast. Here the biscuit as we know it is the 'cookie'. So what's the danger factor here? Is an Oreo eater at greater risk than a chocolate chip cookie muncher?
For once, Britain is ahead in research on something - come on America - let's see the size of your cookie monster!
