500 meteorites reach the surface of the Earth each year (source: Google) and there are over 7 billion people on earth yet only one record of a human ever being hit by a meteor.

So when there are more LEO satellites than people and more than 500 launches per year this could be a problem.

The main issue with LEO satellites is interference with earth bound telescopes and terrestrial communications should some of these satellites go rogue.
