Typhoon accident rate.

Before anyone holds their heads in their hands, and says ".. someone shut him up.. NOW", I looking at Coningsby's 4x4 trials version last week, and thinking. It seems that we have a pretty good track record with it, save one or two mishaps.

Is it attributable to better design, training and monitoring, 'better' flying, the on board tech, better maintenance and culture, more realistic sims, higher risk aversion aloft/planning? Pro rata, taking into account the fewer hours flown and size of the fleet, how does it compare to rates of other jets of the 80s onwards?
