Over 16 yrs it averages out at around 2 fatal accidents per yr The anomaly in the figures is 2001 to 2003 - Was this just a statistical anomaly or did we do something right without realising it? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Texler, Michael Sent: Friday, 20 April 2007 10:54 AM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: RE: [Aus-soaring] accident rate for gliders in Australia Thanks for those who have replied to me off list, some of my numbers were in error: These are the fatal accident figures (not numbers killed) since 1991, any corrections (preferably off list)? 1991 3 1992 1 1993 1 1994 3 1995 2 1996 0 1997 6 1998 3 1999 2 2000 2 2001 0 2002 0 2003 0 2004 1 2005 3 2006 3 2007 1 At least 34 deaths from 31 fatal accidents. Again the problem is what to use as the denominator (i.e.fatalities versus hours flown, number of flights, number of active GFA members, km's flown etc.) Also note that some of the accidents killed more than one person, hence the numerator may be rubbery too. Need to delve into GFA and GA stats to derive meaningful stats. The other problem is that we are dealing with a low frequency event, so again sensible use of statistical methods is required.
