Of 566 responses, 170 owners have had a flyaway.
That's about 30%. About half of those were recovered.

What's lacking is the key detail:
How many Phantom have been sold?
Additionally, many folks claim "flyaway" when it is operator error.
Not every Phantom owner belongs to that forum or responds to a poll, but many do respond trying to defend DJI because they have not had a flyaway yet.
If you read the accounts of each "flyaway", many admit to some user error but many are experienced rc pilots that did everything right.
It's always "pilot error" until it happens to you.
These are very complex systems with lots of ways to fail besides pilot error.
