If you want to be pedantic, 4 in 50 really, as one was a bird strike(ie a bird going into one of the engines), this can happen to any aircraft and is not predictable nor preventable.

Edit: also looking as the wiki article, it would actually suggest 3 in 50, as one of the accidents was a suspected to be a flare going off in the bomb bay, again an incident not linked to aircraft type, could have happened to any aircraft carrying flares.
