I've always been shocked at how wealthy people fly around in small private planes. At least once a year, I hear of a tragedy involving such a person, often wiping out all or most of their family. While large aircraft are extremely safe, small ones have a significant chance of catastrophic crashes, particularly in inclement weather. While I'll fly in small aircraft, I will never make a habit of it - eventually the number will catch up with you. Same goes for motorcycles. How many motorcyclists have driven for 30 years without a serious accident? None I know.
