I would be willing to bet that somewhere, a model rocket has hit a GA
plane.

Nope. Not that has ever been reported to anyone.

And the overall safety record: 47 years, over 600 MILLION flights, ZERO
fatalities, and ONE serious injury.

Out of curiousity, how fast are the model rockets moving?

Under thrust, fast enough that you wouldn't ever see it. Any where from a
few hundred miles an hour STRAIGHT UP to Mach 2.

When descending under a parachute, maybe 20 fps, again Z axis. THey drift
with the wind.
