So, first I hope this question fits this sub. I’ve often heard that sentance. But how has it been determined?
Like, is it just about the raw number of deaths? In which case, the argument doesn’t exactly land well since we’re in planes a very small part of our lives.
Or has it been calculated that on average, a second spent on a plane is safer than a second spent in a car? In which case it would truly be safer.
In: Other
Planes are safer than most other ways of travelling in terms of the chance of getting killed on the trip. They’re more dangerous than most if you factor in the number of people potentially killed by the environmental consequences of jet travel, though.
