Percentage of fatal accidents, fleetwide?

Trying to get a good handle on fatal accidents among experimental aircraft. Not by hours flown, but by fleet numbers.

All kinds of info online stating fatal accidents down by 15% this year. But that tells me nothing. 15% of what? How many aircraft?

Would an accident rate of .008 fleet wide be a good number? Terrible number? Call the undertaker now?

I can't find data on RV's specific, or experimental aircraft in general with regards to accident rates per fleet.

Example: 10,000 aircraft worldwide. 80 total fatal accidents to date. That would be a rate of .008.
