Today's flight put me over 300 hours total time without bending anything.
Someone here once wrote that that was a statistical milestone with regards
to accidents. Is that true?

I do not have any statistical data to back this claim, but my
observation has been that there is no correlation between accident
rates and PIC hours. New pilots compensate for their lack of experience
with a greater personal minimums, while pilots with more experience
tend to cancel out their advantage with a lower personal mininums. In
the end I think they all come out even.

However, you can benefit from your experience if you do not lessen your
personal minimum as you gain experience. But I have rarely seen this
happen. Afterall, the sign of experience is the ability to do things
that others unable to.
