Default Accident statistics

ups.com...
Thus, all ground accidents, such as those where people walk into moving
propellers, and taxiing accidents, are included here.

There are a considerable number of fatal accidents involving small AC
on the ground,


The Nall Report lists US ground fatalities (taxi or preflight) separately
from other fatal accidents. In 2004, there were no taxi/preflight deaths. In
2003, there was one. In 2002, there were none. These years are typical.
Taxi/preflight fatalities are rare, and do not noticeably change the GA
fatality statistics.
