My brother in law started working on the side for an Amazon warehouse last year. According to him the process for sorting and assigning packages to trucks is pretty complex and intense. I have no doubt that it could be improved by some sort of automation, but according to him it sounds like the are a ways off from that. Based on his stories it sounds like there is a lot of chance for human error given how fast the packages fly down the conveyor belt and need to be sorted. It probably doesn't cause as many deaths, but I once heard the "Stanley Knife" was the single largest cause of warehouse injuries.
