You don't see many BD5 accidents but there are not a lot flying so statically the accident rate is probably pretty high vs other homebuilts with a lot completed and flying? Man those BD5's just don't seem like a good idea. Tiny, high stall speed, tight engine compartment, and the pilot sits right on the bottom of the fuselage. The airplane has been discussed in this group previously and my recollection is that it has a very high fatal accident rate. It's first flight accident rate is also very high. Perhaps Ron Wanttaja can step in with his always meticulous statistical analysis. Corky Scott
