Not a complete record. A partial collection of documented occurrences: counts, not rates, and no measure of aviation risk. Coverage

Age is the year of the occurrence minus the year the aircraft was built, as recorded by the NTSB, so it can be a year more than the true age. The year built is recorded for 0 of 24 aircraft in these occurrences. These are counts of occurrences, not rates: they do not account for how many aircraft of each age are flying, so they do not show whether older aircraft are riskier.
