How many PAX are usually held in a multi vs a single? i.e. a single pax aircraft accident with no fatalities vs a 12 pax accident where one dies?
Which 12 seater piston twin flying GA would that be?

If you have a problem with the "fatalities per 100,000 hours" statistic, I suggest you take it up the FAA, NTSB, CASA, ATSB, EASA, etc...

Even if the average occupancy of light GA twins is double that of singles (which is highly doubtful) then the fatality rate is at best still barely better than singles.

Just how many turboprop fatalities have there been this year in Oz, pray tell....
No point in praying, I am an atheist. If you must know, the comment was more regarding the single vs. twins. That said: just because we have not had an accident this year doesn't say much. Maybe there are relatively so few light GA turbines being flown here and that is the reason we don't have one every year. Doesn't mean the statistical probability of it happening is any less.
