I'm not sure if the following statistics mean much as they don't include the time factor.  I assume the data is the total number of accidents divided by the total number of currently-registered aircraft.  The Tomahawk has been out of production for a long time, so its population can only go down, while the number accidents have been accumulating for many years and can only go up.  Do the same statistics on a per-year basis and I'm afraid the numbers will work out differently.
