Flying is one of the safest things you can ever do, safer than showering, safer than walking down a busy sidewalk, safer than going to McDonalds to eat a burger

Flying is one of the safest things you can ever do, safer than showering, safer than walking down a busy sidewalk, safer than going to McDonalds to eat a burger.
We don't need anal probes and full body cat scans to make extremely safe things even more safe.
If you want to decrease your risk of dying from various causes, spending your entire life aboard public aircraft would be a wise thing to do.
- younata 16y agolooking at what's in a McDonalds burger, their (there?) are a LOT more things you can do that is safer than eating one of their burgers.
- maeon3 16y agoI wonder what the odds are of dying a few hours after eating a final burger (stroke, heart failure, etc) verses dying a few hours after boarding a doomed aircraft. I recall the odds of dying are like one in 15 million for first world airlines, I have a hard time believing that less than 1 in 15 million people who eat a burger die because of that burger.

The recommendations are pretty low when pregnant and for others at risk: http://www.airspacemag.com/need-to-know/NEED-radiation.html http://www.airspacemag.com/need-to-know/NEED-radiation.html
