I'll take a stab at this...
A bunch of years ago I had read a report that said the Piper Super Cub had the highest Stall-Spin fatality rate of any single engine aicraft. The reason for that was not that the Super Cub was a bad airplane, as everyone knows a Super Cub is one of the nicest flying, most docile airplanes you can own. So why so many bad accidents?
The answer as explained in the report was amazingly simple.... because of the exceptional capabilites of the Super Cub, it is being operated at its limits in challenginge operating environments. So in effect, if the design wasn't so much better than most others it probably wouldn't be subjected to those kind of situations, and then it wouldn't be having all those accidents.
The more I thought about that after reading it, the more that made sense to me. And now because STOL flying is becoming more popular than ever, that accident rate is likely to go up unless the pilot operators get better training to develop their skills, AND they improve their ability to use better judgement so as to avoid operating the aircraft too far at the outer limits of the envelope. It isn't the airplane...
I've been flying these planes since 1986 (Kitfoxes, Avids, Highlanders). And not that all the models operate exactly the same, but in my experienced opinion, the Kitfox is a docile, easy to fly airplane.
BUT like any airplane, if you fly it too slow and push it too hard you can get in trouble with it. So you need to be properly trained, being taught what you can do with it, and what you can't do with it. If you were to read all of my past years of posting you will stumble on my comments at least a few times that say I tend to carry a little extra speed in takeoff and landing modes than most, as I've tested my Kitfox enough to know at what point it will drop a wing in the stall. But again, every airplane I've ever flown has a limit that needs to be respected. And just for the record, my current Kitfox will drop a wing sooner than most, as it was built with less washout in the wingtips than what was recommended in the building manual. But even with less washout than suggested it is a really nice flying, predictable airplane.
I'm sure you could put some mods on the wing to make it even more docile than it already is. But I think to bring accident rates down it would be better to have new Kitfox owners get some Kitfox type specific traing from people like Paul L.at Stick and Rudder Aviation.
In a nutshell, I think it's likely the Kitfox is flying better than we are .
