This is an overgeneralization. You are far more likely to die in a C172 airplane than you are in a modern car.

- buellerbueller 1y agoOk, sure, we can go that route and cherry pick examples that are not representative of the trends of the vast majority of flying. I'll even grant that I probably invited it by saying "full stop" on my sentence. Nevertheless, as most of us will never be in a C172, flying in a plane is far safer than being in a car. The least you can do here is be honest about the conversation that is being had. It would be appreciated.
- aeternum 1y agoAgreed, flying in a plane is far safer, it was the full stop thing :) I also would recommend flying in a small plane at least once, the small additional risk is worth the experience.
