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.

Probably, but I'm still talking about percentage vs falling out of the sky.
