Is it? How many piston accidents are due to engine failure?

In Germany alone at least one each month (often more), according to the
BFU Bulletins.

Accidents? Incidents? Fatal? That's what percentage of all accidents?

I pointed you to the source, now you can do the required research to
answer your question yourself.

Heheh, which means you don't have the facts to back up your claim.

No, which means I'm not going to spend hours to research numbers I'm not
interested in. I know what I've claimed, I'm not interested in exacter
numbers, and certainly not in pecentages. But for those who are, I'll
even post the link with the rough material:

One might also say you posted a meaningless number and I asked you to
put meaning to it. ;-)

One might. On the other hand, one might also say that you asked a
rhetorical question and are not even interested in the answer, otherwise
you would jump on the source and look for the answer yourself.

What I really did was ask Mr. Rubble to explain how much of a "part of
the equation the reliability of piston engines" really is - after he
stated it was.

I've read this very question over and over from you. At some point, I
said to myself why doesn't this guy just look up the answer?

BTW: According to the BFU Bulletin, in January 2006 it was 75% of the
reported accidents/incidents/whatever in Germany (counting only the
light SEPs).

Oh, and BTW(2): I had one incident when the tug lost its power just
after being airborne while I was in the glider behind. Believe me or
not, at that moment, I wasn't interested the least bit in statistics. I
survived and so did the glider I flew, but it was, well, a moment to
remember.
