These numbers I'm afraid don't really give us the picture do they? In order to make a meaningful comparison we need fatalities per sortie, per nnn flying hours, per xxx pilots - something that allows us to compare like with like.

And of course, similar numbers for GA, light helicopters, gliders - something that gives us a reasonable feel for whether ultralights / microlights are better or worse.
