Thanks for the replies, some interesting reading, especially after all the recent accidents.

I enjoy flying a great deal but at 25 still want to live!

I originally posted as it seems the ratio of accidents to flights seems high, but it probably isnt. I attend fatal RTCs at work and they never get a mention on the news whereas a plane crashing is forced to make at least regional news.

I suppose I do not know how many small GA flights are taking place over a weekend so not a lot to compare it with even though it is obvious there are millions of cars on the road at any one time...
