Methinks he is positing that a light plane engine failure does not often
end in a crash.

Maybe. I'll still be interested in seeing the stats I asked for.


Me too. I don't know, but I'd hazard a guess that there are far more fatal
boating accidents (for all causes) than small, private plane fatal accidents
(for all causes).

Boating may be a bigger in terms of participants though, so we'd have to
convert the numbers to percentages of registered boats and small aircraft.
