Have to agree.. I would love to sit down and perform a statistical analysis, but I wouldn't have the time. Fact is on these particular aircraft, if the gearbox coming through the roof doesn't get you.. then the ensuing fire will. I haven't seen to many that crash not go up in flames... unless of course they ran out of fuel.
How some OEMs are allowed get away with it is beyond me. I like to see a video of the 350 drop test during certification.
