This is the kind of chat that gives statistics a bad name. How does it make any sense to compare deaths per journey on foot to skydiving? What even defines a journey on foot? Why would you include the number of kilometers for the space shuttle, which is dominated by the arbitrary safe time spent in orbit, but not for skydiving? It also makes air travel look more dangerous by combining commercial and non-commercial air travel, while making cars look safer by separating out motorcycles. Some rigor would make this more honest.
