Spanish national sports: Soccer and Metroliner crashing (?)

For those of us on the ground, both metaphorically and literally, it would be interesting to have some background figures to allow our own risk analysis.

Do Spanish pilots have a disproportionate propensity for pranging such planes (sic) or are such planes more common in Spanish airspace ?

If the latter is true (as I suspect/ hope) then the statistical skew would, for me at least, be akin to the dearth of deaths amongst cyclist riding pushbikes on motorways.

(None of which I hope is to treat with any levity the deaths of 6 people, including a Spanish pilot, in this tragic accident.)
