This does not mean, obviously, that general aviation is exempt from piloting errors, but they have much less training (PPL vs CPL or ATPL + TR), much less practise (average of 12 hours vs 600 hours per year), and only pilot required
GA aircraft flown by PPLs typically aren't complex, heavy multi engine swept-winged jets flying at FL400.
