The statistics don't say, and you'd have to do a lot of burrowing into individual accident reports to start to answer that. Even then you'd not get a complete answer, as everybody in the little aeroplane world knows there are a significant number of accidents unreported - the only number you can really trust is the number of dead bodies.
