6 Light aircraft accidents in one week

Having been in this game for nearly 50 years I'm well aware of the risk factors and that operating mechanical devices sometimes leads to failures. The past 7 days has seen an unusual spike as follows,

23 Aug PA-32R forced landing with substantial damage

26 Aug Tiger Moth sadly 2 fatalities

28 Aug Another PA-32R forced landing

28 Aug Cessna 182 landing accident with major damage

28 Aug MB2 Colibri forced landing

28 Aug PA-28 forced landing where a Lamb got the chop

There were quite a few injuries involved here as well.

Apart from the co-incidence factor of the "28th" engine trouble seems to feature in most of these?
