The RAAF bought 115 Mirage III's. 39 crashed (hull loss).

22 ejections,
20 pilots injured.
14 pilots killed.

I think training accidents have decreased rapidly for multiple factors over the last 30 years. Systems have improved. They weren't flown by triple redundant fly-by-wire computers in those days, and 'risk management' was simply a calculation on the chance of dying.
