> If FSD (Supervised) was active at any point within five seconds leading up to a collision event, Tesla considers the collision to have occurred with FSD (Supervised) engaged for purposes of calculating collision rates for the Vehicle Safety Report.

If it takes you off the road into the grass with no traction at 80mph it could reasonably be 5 seconds before you hit a tree.
Sure, it's very possible, and I'm sure has happened (an autopilot-instigated crash that happened >5sec after disengagement), but I do think 5 seconds is a reasonable threshold for this data, at the very least.
Another example scenario: FSD-caused spin out then hit by a car close to 5 seconds later. I've been close to this one before with a tire blow out but wasn't hit, but maybe you are right that these would be in the tail of the data.
