Are planes really the safest way to travel?

752 viewsOther

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.

If instead of counting passengers you counted miles of human carrying vehicles it’d probably be large ships.
