Megan: accident rates are typically broken down by hours flown, not by number built. (I would think that you'd know better)
Know exactly what you are saying
Lonewolf, but certain aircraft earn a reputation, look up the German experience with the F-104 for example.
We might ask the question if the "accidents" mentioned were just of the bent crosstube variety, or write offs. I may err by assuming the latter, which despite hours flown, would seem to me to be just a tad on the high side. Just a tad mind you.
