When twin-engine and turbine aircraft are excluded, the single-engine piston rate is 1.86 fatal accidents per 100,000 hours flown

I do not know if these stats are correct or not? are you saying that Multi engine stats are better than single in piston aircraft? In all the single V twin arguements the media always claim that there is no safety arguement between piston singles and twins.
I would be interested to see the disection between aircraft which increases the rate to 1.86?
I also ask why the media always appear to quote the high rate of Cirrus accidents if they are wrong.
Infact Cirrus should be quoting these better than average figures to get reduced insurance on Cirrus over other singles not increased.
I am not damning Cirrus as I personally would love to own one of the new generation Cirrus with the wing changes.
That begs a question why make 50 plus mods on the new gen aircraft with extensive wing mods including dihedral and wing tip changes if the pre 2009 aircraft were so good?
