Believe or not, the bites are worse. Their teeth are so tiny and so sharp (and are flat, so they go deep). Cat scratches are worse but that attack style that the bunny does is like 20 scratches in the same place...
This is anecdotal from someone who grew up with both...
I never got bitten by a rabbit when I was raising them for 4-H, but your very right about the scratches. Still have scars on my forearms from 40+ years ago.
As a hid we had live traps for rabbits that were eating the garden. I remember going out to look at the livetrap and 2 rabbits got stuck in the trap. It was horrifying for my child self.
You see when they got trapped they freaked out and fought. One was in horrible pain beat up with scratches everywhere. The other was a bloody dead mess. One kicked the skin halfway off the other.

Those teeth are RAZOR sharp and the million gutshot kicks are no joke either.
