There have been numerous other incidents, including a fatal crash, in the past few years involving this model of airplane. Is it the airplane or the experience niche it occupies?
Well this one crashed right after takeoff... Configuration? Early rotation? W&B? VMC? Spatial D?
None of that is airplane, so probably niche. Uncommanded control hard-over or structural failure is pretty unlikely
