I'd heard somewhere (Now that's authoritative!) that when the overall
stats of caver injury and death are added up vs. hours spent caving,
it falls somewhere between Soccer and Golf on the scale of
dangerosity. This doesn't include cave diving, which would skew the
numbers, as diving appears to be quite a bit more dangerous. I have
no authoritative statistics to back up that last statement, though --
just a hunch.

IMHO, Caving is safe provided you have:
1) Proper training
2) Proper equipment
3) Proper planning
