Deep well pumps need to have a torque-arrestor installed on the pipe above the actual pump. It's a thing that provides friction against the side of the bore-hole or casing, to keep the whole hanging pipe and pump from twisting when the pump turns on or off. If it wasn't there, wear could have abraded any surfaces that were rubbing up against each other.

I do that driving risk comparison as well. In the early months of COVID, I did some back of the envelope calculations and figured driving was about 3 times as dangerous as that plague.
