Apart from those dodging small arms fire and navigating burning canyons there seems to be few pilots with direct involvement with engine failures in a GA setting.
Or perhaps just few posting on pprune.

I know two GA pilots who had power failures and crashes with AAIB reports. Although pilot error was not the cause in either case, neither brings it up in conversation, (I first learned from spouses), and I doubt they posted about it on pprune.

FWIW both (helicopters) had a recently maintained drive part fail, not the actual engine.
