But wait, they must be trolls, surely ?? Oh no, wait, this is from the website of an LSA manufacturer.
But wait a minute, that link contains the following:

Seven years worth of data shows that landing accidents among LSAa are higher than for GA as a whole, but fatal accidents match the overall average

One caveat up front: Even though we looked at 10 manufacturers of LSAs for a seven-year reporting period, by our calculation, this sums to about 1440 aircraft and a calculated total fleet hours of 960,000. By aviation statistical standard, these are small numbers, thus any calculated rates are susceptible to wide swings based on just a few occurrences. In our view it is too soon to draw blanket conclusions about LSA fleet safetly in general
I'm not sure how that supports your case? As I suggested earlier; landing accidents are unlikely to widow your wife and orphan your children
