Well I guess there are two way of looking at this. On one hand a skilled player wouldn't even bother looking at this stat, knowing it to be meaningless, on the other hand a winning player can expect the majority of eliminations to be a result of getting money in with >50% equity.
 
Given that a skilled player also wouldn't entertain the notion of moving up to escape bad beats it's more likely you're right as regards OP being a losing player, I guess.
 
Look OP, SNGs are, broken down to their simplest form, a sequence of gambles for stacks. If you don't like that, don't play them. Even if, for example, you get your stack in twice as a 60% favourite, it's actually [I]significantly more likely[/I] that you'll be eliminated than still in after the second hand, seeing as assuming you're playing for your entire stack in both cases you only need to lose one of the two hands in order for you to be eliminated. Add a third iteration and it becomes even more likely you'll be out, and so on. Yet if you just look at the final hand that you got knocked out on and your equity in that, you will fall victim to the incorrect notion that you were somehow "unlucky".
