Uh, Jeff - where would I be counted? I hold a Private SEL and a Commercial MEL (also Instrument airplane)?
BTW, I would guess that most (a statistical term meaning more than 50%) experimental aircraft accidents happen to private pilots.
I had a number of incidents (defined as somewhat costly "oops") when I was a SLIT (Severely Limited In Type). How about we classify the great number of incidents that have occurred by counting "Prop Blades Installed per Hours In Type" (PBI/HIT) - My number would be 8/950. A large fraction would not be good.

More numbers:
57% of our Lancair accidents involve pilots with less than 100 hours in the Lancair model. 40% of the Lancair accident pilots had less than 50 hours in type at the time of the accident. The GA number for the last 3 years according to the Nall report is between 43 and 47% of the accident pilots had less than 100 hours in type. (see AOPA ASF Nall Report).
35% of the total pilot population hold Private Pilot certificates. 48% of the GA accidents occur to Private Pilots. 55% of our Lancair accidents involve Private Pilots.
