From a purely mathematical perspective, you are correct.
But, from a physics standpoint, you are incorrect.
The more times you expose Burrow to another person hurling himself at him, the greater the chances of an injury.
Let's take it to the extreme...
Let's theoretically assume that Burrow hands it off EVERY play of a game. What are the chances of someone flying sideways into Burrow's plant leg as he throws? Bascially ZERO, because his left leg isn't being planted in the middle of a chaotic (thanks to the shitty OL) mass of human bodies.
Now, let's assume that Burrow throws it EVERY play, do you think the chances of him getting injured that way are MORE or LESS?
Remember, we're not playing roulette or rolling dice, and writing down the results as statistics. We're talking about uncontrolled, random chaos that has real, physical consequences.
It reminds me of the "Woodbeast" scene from Flash Gordon. If you keep sticking your hand (or, in this case, Burrow's leg) INSIDE THE STUMP (inside the chaotic pocket) eventually you're going to get stung!
