If you average one fatal accident per year and it is thirteen months since the last one....
That works for finance as funds accrued or prepaid for an "expected" financial disaster can always be released if pending financial disaster does not occur. However, just because a previous average has been one accident per year, does not mean that the 31st December is a dodgy day on which to go flying.
What caused these accidents? They may have been one a year but were they all in, say, May? Was there a common factor?
I once heard (although I suspect it was an apocryphal tale) that the French Government realised that more schoolchildren were in killed in coaches in July than in any other month. So they made it illegal for schoolchildren to ride in a coach in July!!!
