Read carefully. "Flying a light aircraft or a helicopter is about the most dangerous thing you’re ever going to do" is what was actually reported. Similarly, "2 out of 60 pilots will die" - no type mentioned.
It might be worth asking some of the more seasoned guys - you may indeed be one yourself - if these figures ring true in their experience across all types of aircraft and operation.
Or have I missed the point of your post completely ?
