I have read many official reports over the years about fatal stall/spin type accidents (and other aircraft accidents), and I find it interesting that since the United States government started collecting data on aircraft accidents many years ago, commercial rated &/or airline pilots, who when piloting large air transport aircraft have excellent safety records, yet when they fly on their own time in small general aviation aircraft, they as a group appear to have one of the highest accident rates for fatal stall/spin type accidents, and other types of aircraft accidents. How can this be possible, seeing as they have such a high level of experience over many years, in different weather conditions, during day and night flying, and in many different types of aircraft. It doesn't make sense that the most well trained, and safest (when piloting air transport aircraft) pilots have some of the worst safety records over all. Why has this been happening? How can these accidents be avoided / eliminated, if they happen to such well trained professional pilots?
