Default Other US crashes this season

From a quick survey of available NTSB synopses, it looks like the statistics for the last five full years a

2014 total 26 fatal 3 (3 fatalities)
2013 total 23 fatal 3 (5 fatalities)
2012 total 33 fatal 6 (8 fatalities)
2011 total 27 fatal 9 (9 fatalities)
2010 total 34 fatal 6 (8 fatalities)

Right now we're about half way through 2015, and the count stands at:

2014 total 5 fatal 2 (2 fatalities)

Of course, no crashes are good, but overall it doesn't look like 2015 is on track to be particularly out of the ordinary.

One thing I'll add is that I am not particularly distressed by non-injury accidents. It's all just machinery, and there's not much to it that a couple of people can't make or remake in a two-car garage. What really tears me up are the accidents where someone gets injured or killed because they were trying to save the aircraft and ended up maneuvering outside their margins.

Thanks, Bob K.
