Have asked this before but where is the statistical evidence that the US 45 deg join is "safer" than an OHJ?

We might all have some sort of subjective feelings about which is safer but until someone can show me stats on airproxes/collisions in the circuit for different types of join, I am yet to be convinced.
Is that a demand that can ever be answered? First of all, you'd need a significant number of accidents to work from. Secondly, you'd need to account for differences in pilot training and familiarity with procedures when you were defining your populations for each group.

Are you building a Luciole?
