They are vastly outnumbered by incidents that result in fatalities. When something is fatal most of the time, it is best avoided. The above assertion is an invention without foundation and is contradictive of existing statistics. In 2006, of 153 fixed wing GA accidents whose causal chain began during the takeoff phase of flight, 16 resulted in fatalities (~10%) [Ref 1, figure 9]. Of the 160 fixed wing GA accidents attributed to pilot error during takeoff or climb, 31 resulted in fatalities (~19%) [Ref 1, figure 2].
