Here is is an article quoting FAA statistics of accidents vs. age of the pilot.

----- Start quote --------
..... a Federal Aviation Administration study obtained by Team 4 shows that pilots in their 20s have, by far, the highest accident rate:

89 percent higher than pilots in their 30s

59 percent greater than pilots in their 40s

62 percent higher than pilots in their 50s
----- End quote --------

I am not clear whether they are talking about pilots or commercial pilots.
