General Aviation Safety
is an article about aircraft safety and says that in a the chances of dying in a big jet airliner are .34 per million hours
5 times greater in a turbo prop so about 1.7 per million hours
and 16 deaths per million hours in a light aircraft
and for driving about .85 deaths per million hours in a car
Diamond Katana Review -- DA20-A1 Rotax-powered
says that if you fly a DA 20 your chances of getting killed are 2 in million hours so almost as safe as in a commercial turbo prop
that means you are 8 times less likely to die in one compared to other light aircraft, so there must surely be aircraft that you are 3 times as likely to die in

they seem to claim diamond is safest compared to cessnas, cirrus and columbia which I would also think would be amongst the the safest
