I've done similar studies of US canard aircraft fatalities, concerning homebuilts, and the statistics are very much the same, most fatalities were either tyros (and their passengers), or just too laid back operators! And I guess the same is true in traffic, and elsewhere - where lack of experience, and too much, can be equally lethal!
