This brings a question to mind.

As a student of goju ryu karate, if during a match we injured our oponent, etiquette dictated that we would turn and kneel facing away from our oponent.

I haven't yet noted any similar or specific etiquette toward an injured oponent in Kendo. Is there unwritten etiquette or do kendo injuries occur so infrequently that there really wasn't a need to establish any?
