Look at the hours. The more time exposed to potential incidents, the
more likely they are to happen.

Very true. My CFI said the closest he ever came to grief was a near-gear up
landing while ferrying an Arrow, shortly after he crossed the 10,000-hour
mark. And he's precisely the sort of guy you look at and say, "he could
*never* make a dumb mistake like that."
