That's also based on a lot smaller sample size.

There are still an awful lot of "cowboy" pilots out there - particularly the weekend-only types, who I'm sure influence those stats considerably. Treat it with the respect it deserves and use your head and you'll avoid being a statistic.

"Continued VFR flight into instrument meterological conditions". Learn what that means, memorize it, and don't succumb to it. If you do that and can eliminate that single source of potential problems/accidents, your odds of survival will be HUGELY increased. It boils down to judgement.
