That link does not support your statement. There are countries with the same safety record and with a higher percentage of their airlines ranking higher in safety than US airlines.
Lumping the US versus 'the rest of the world' together does not compare single countries against each other.
The US is safe for air travel, but that does not show that it is the safest.
