Here's a bit of offshore twins vs singles reading http://www.ogp.org.uk/pubs/300.pdf

It's only a snap shot for 1 year but it is worldwide

Of the 47 fatalities worldwide the figures were :

57% in medium twins
21% in light twins
17% in singles (none due to engine failure ??)
4% heavy twins.
----
99%
----

In a year when 49% (23) of fatalities were caused by mid airs, this data doesn't really, IMHO, apply here.



Interesting to read Appendix C



If you like to throw figures around, notice the singles accident rates compared to all the twins put together!!!
