Considering that mechanical failure is basically a rounding error compared to human error when it comes to causing crashes of every other vehicle and piece of machinery humans operate I'm inclined to believe the same is true for drones.

People have a much lower tolerance for mechanical failure in vehicles that carry people. Anything that crashed at a higher rate from mechanical failure than human error would not be produced for very long.
