The NTSB knows: http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/Stats.htm A total of 534 aviation fatalities in 2009 in the U.S. By comparison, allegedly 450 deaths per year occurred in the U.S. due to people falling out of bed: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/mo...-involving-bed Possible supporting stats he http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/nursing.htm Another perspective: there were a total of 366 weather-caused deaths in the U.S.: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/hazstats/sum09.pdf General NOAA weather hazard stats page: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/hazstats.shtml BOTTOM LINE: You ain't safe in bed or outdoors - so may as well have some fun flying! |

There are a lot more cars on the ground than planes in the air... If I run out of gasoline, or my car..stalls, I'm not going to crash into the ground! |

There are not 300 million airplanes in the sky... Planes crash because....they run out of whatever keeps them up in the air... The Starmaker You put a washing machine in the air...you better have enough quaters to keep it flying. |

There are not 300 million airplanes in the sky... But U.S. airlines carried 704 million passengers in 2009: http://www.bts.gov/press_releases/20...bts029_10.html (And that was a down year.) Planes crash because....they run out of whatever keeps them up in the air... People crash out of bed because....they run out of safety blankets. You put a washing machine in the air...you better have enough quaters to keep it flying. That's probably why bricks plummet to the ground: no place to insert quarters. |
