engine failure, how common?

Hi all

I've been flying for about eight years without incident, however i've just had my second engine failure in 12 months. 2 different aircraft, 2 different operators, 2 different maintenance organisations. Both times I was able to restart the engine and land safely.

Obviously I dont want to become complacent and think 'it wont happen to me again'. But I am wondering how many engine failures people have in their careers. Am I due for more? or is this it for a while?

Cheers

BF
