Does your calculations account for the base-risk value of what happens to people that die on planes, not necessarily death by planes.
Plane flight is an additional risk, it doesn't mitigate existing risks in place.
- arcticbull 3y agoI’ll be the first to admit it wasn’t properly calculated. I do think there’s some benefit to personal safety due to the selection bias and process for the people around you.
- d1sxeyes 3y agoProbably true, but you also have to account for the mitigation of 'opportunity risks', rather than just the inherent risk of being (there's probably a proper name for this, but I don't know what it is). For example, if you're on a plane, you're not scuba diving, base jumping, driving a car, etc.
