Hmm. If I'm reading that page right myself, then if you travel 1000 miles in a car there's ~4.3 times as much risk of death than if you travelled in a plane instead. So if a plane travels at least 4.3 times as FAST as a car on average, then your risk over time in a plane could be higher. I think your post makes a good point in general. Way too often, people compare statistics that don't consider major factors like how often people drive vs. fly.
