I avoid getting in small planes since the statistics say they are as dangerous as riding motorcycles.

- sokoloff 2y agoThat’s the overall stats, which is fair, but I find a significant counterbalance that the pilot is much more in control of the risk in aviation. If you die in an airplane, it’s probably a pilot issue. If you die on a bike, it could easily be someone else’s fault. Don’t run out of gas and don’t tangle with weather beyond the ability of the airplane and pilot, and you cut out around 60% of the risk.
