Keep in mind that the level of GA in the US is 5 times larger than the rest of the entire world.. which is to say, I would expect all but a small percentage of accidents in GA to be in the US. Moreover, as a flight Instructor working at a busy flight school in the late 90's in the Southern California area, over a period of 1 year there were 5 fatal accidents ALL involving either European or Indian students..

keep in mind that some times insurance amount for the aircraft is more than its actual worth,and if it"s a pilot error,then operator gets insurance amount after accident easily.
and when there are European or indian student is involved there are no legal hassels in the country ,so insurance claims sattles faster into operators pocket.
