Are there statistics available about mechanical failure of small UAS or drones available to the public?

Each small UAS or drone will have different mechanical failure rates based on a multitude of factors. Most small drones are not issued an airworthiness certificate. It is the operator's or waiver applicant's responsibility to determine their specific drone’s mechanical failure rate, based on where and how it is operated, and how it is maintained.
