Of course that would not be a population based sample. One would hope that
those injuries, especially the later ones on the list are being seen at
trauma centers that participate in the ACS data set. Discharge data might be
more representative but not realistic to obtain and analyze for the US as a
whole. The tremendous advantage of the  ACS data set is that it exists and
you can query it. Maybe ask Dr. Ellen Mackenzie at Johns Hopkins School of
Public Health.
