Bah...just kidding...mostly. I have no clue about injury statistics in either one of those trades, although my grandpa (carpenter) did have an injury-prone career, which included cutting off three of his fingers and cushioning his fall from scaffolding with his face.
Injury rates should be something to consider, though.

He's almost lost his fingers, almost had 2x4's come off the saw and hit the abdomen (which would probably be a nice week or 2 in the hospital) and has seen a lot of co-workers and other tradesmen seriously hurt at jobsites.
