No, that is ridiculous.
You mess up in a plane, you go doun.
You mess up in a car, 7 people go down.
You mess up in a plane, you have 3,000 feet to catch yourself
You mess up in a car well...
Your engine fails in a plane, you glide to earth.
Your engine fails on earth you crash.
Anybody can get a licence, but a pilot's licence takes hours of flight time.
In a car, there is no control tower...

I just realized something:

If you are in the air force in a war, a plane would be more dangerous.

I think this thread is whether it is more dangerous as a method of transport. If you could apply any situation to said behicle you could just as easily say a snatch landrover out on patrol in Helmland province is more dangerous than going to Malaga on Easyjet.

Statistically, your more likely to die from electrocution in your bathtub than you are to die in a plane crash. I think we can all fly safely for now.

Alot more people die in car crashes so I think they are more dangerous. Also as you said there is more reaction time in a plane.

there is the simple fact that more people are in cars daily making the stats more in the negative colum... planes are safer and that is that

Well alot of people die if a plane hits the ground hard and blows up but for more poeple die in car crashes more then a plane hard to say I think the car crashes are a little more deadly but how big was the car crash but over all I think the car is more deadly than the plane.

thats going to get you in trouble... but not only is it proven that planes are safer i would like to know how many people have been in a plane crash to car crash ratio.. i only know of famous people being killed or hurt in a plane crash not a person i personally know

given that information.... where did you get that? and now the question is obviously a statistical standpoint on injuries and claims.... every single plane crash is recorded and not all car and do i dare say motorcycle crashes are.... good point unlim but i find your numbers to be a little hard to swallow

ultimatetitan... I think you messed up somewhere with your math. There is not a 1/4 chance that there will be a fatality when you fly in an airplane! If those were the odds of ending up dead, then it would have been illegal to fly a long time ago!
