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
Yes and no.
It’s the safest but it’s not just inherently the safest. It’s the safest because it’s where there is most scrutiny. Of we worried about train crashes as much as we do about plane crashes, then trains would be way way safer than planes.
