I don't want to spoil everyone's fun, but here is what ChatGPT came up with. 



I have checked a few sources, and they all seem ok.  I can supply them if people are really keen.

The rate would be 0.43 fatalities per 100k participants, which in the case of my XLS formatting, rounds down to zero.

They cart the casualties away .

Then, they die in hospital ,not out bush walking .

Australia (per ChatGPT) - but AI can make mistakes

The ga figure is high.

Is that including the military and commercial helicopter accidents.

 

The raaus figure would be  low I would imagine.

A slightly selfish way to look at it.The 33 fatalities must include passengers, we don't have three fatals per month in Oz. Also I feel a lot more than 25,000 fly in a given year if passengers are included. 

 

I would like to see fatal stats with stall spin, VFR into IMC and hooning excluded, pilots only.
