Really? WOW! I doubt that would have worked with Aussi conscripts, most of us were already really pissed off by having to be there.
Anyway,we only had the one serious accident.
There was this guy in the next hut who was a real arsehole, always getting the entire platoon in trouble.They got him really drunk.After he's passed out they hoisted his bed with him in it,into the rafters of the hut and left him there. Next morning he rolled out of bed---and broke his leg. It was treated officially as an unfortunate accident.
