I would be willing to bet that experimentals do more than 15 percent of the flight hours which would help our ratio. I would like to see a statistic for accidents per flight hour for both general aviation and experimentals. I would guess they are pretty close...

Please read the rest of the report. The fatal experimental accident rate is two to four times as great as the comparison GA certified aircraft fatal rate. Jeff

224,000 / 33,000 = 15%
15% of the fleet, 20% of the accidents. Not bad, not bad at all.

Among 224,000 general-aviation aircraft across the USA, 33,000 are considered experimental, meaning they were built from a kit or from a unique design. The aircraft account for 20% of fatal crashes of general aviation, despite representing a small portion of the fleet.
