The smaller the quantity built, the more greater the chance of a high accident rate.

Its easy to read too much into statistics when taken at face value though. The Cirrus SR22 is a safe aeroplane, but its airframe parachute may give its pilots the confidence to carry on into weather that requires abilities they don't have.

With respect to autogyros specifically, there is a list of accidents worldwide by type, although it appears to be lacking recent updates:
