The 1 failure in those numbers is actually CRS-7, not Amos-6. If you count Amos-6 there have been 2 failures but as you pointed out crew wouldn’t have been on board and they don’t static fire with payload anymore. Also for CRS-7 the dragon survived and would have been fine if the parachutes had been programmed to deploy in that situation. Either way there have been a lot of improvements and ~100 successful launches since either of those.
