Listening to the thread of 2-strokes vs 4-strokes, please lets not forget there were two great guys killed this past year. Both were flying reliable 4-stroke 912 engines. Al Reay and our own Norm Labhart.
This proves to me that it's not the engine itself and how reliable it is, but how the plane is flown.

Sorry Guys that I got the date wrong on Norm's accident. It wasn't this past year, but Nov 15, 2004. Still it was a 4-stroke engine that should not have quit at a most critical time.
There was another accident at my home field where a 912 engine quit. The pilot made a rough landing. Both on board survived without much injury.

Gang
I agree with Ralph ... I don't care how many strokes the engine has 2 - 4 or
100.. if the engine does not have spark or does not get enough fuel it will
quit.
