I am reminded of the fact that if you take all the fuel exhaustion events out of the engine 'failure' statistics actual forced landings from mechanical causes are extremely rare.

If you take out the fuel exhaustion and CFIT (scud running) accidents and VFR-IMC loss of control accidents out of the overall GA statistics crashes in general become exceedingly rare events.

How hard can it be?

Note I make no direct comment on this latest incident.
