I think the answer is fairly evident: Personal flying is not done often
enough by those who do it.


another viewpoint is: Pilots are not managing the risks.

It doesn't matter how often you fly. The pilot that flies within
his abilities is going to have less risk than the pilot that
flies beyond his abilities.

bottomline: it's not about total hours, it's about risk management.
