I guess you like the thrill of living dangerously?

quote:
The number of deaths per passenger-mile on commercial airlines in the United States between 2000 and 2010 was about 0.2 deaths per 10 billion passenger-miles. For driving, the rate was 150 per 10 billion vehicle-miles: 750 times higher per mile than for flying in a commercial airplane.
ETA: The 750 times higher rate includes the 4 planes lost on 9/11. Since 9/11 I think there has only been one or two major fatal accidents in the US. So the rate the past 10 years or so is probably 1000 or 2000 times safer in the air than in a car.
I'm a numbers guy. I'll take the plane.
