Are planes really the safest way to travel?

736 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.

Rules and regulations of air travel are written in blood. If the automobile industry and its users had to follow the same standards the air industry did then cars would be just as safe. Mind you maybe only 10% of the people driving now would qualify, but maybe that’s a good thing.
