It looks like it’s from the Us Department of Transportation, here’s the Air Travel Consumer Report links on the official site:

Only covers US-based Airlines (would like to compare these numbers against other countries airlines), but it is interesting to see the raw numbers and individual percent of incidents between airlines. This could influence my future choice of airlines, though the first one to allow me to stay in my wheelchair (strapped down of course) would REALLY influence my choice (especially because I could make sure it’s okay and be actually comfortable).
