I rhink that statistically, the time you spend in the air is
safer than time spent in a car. If this is correct, then air
travel is only dangerous to the extent that it causes extra
car travel to and from the airport. Of course, the super-rich
are more likely to employ professional drivers, and statistically
the professionals are safer per mile than non-professionals.
Please note: statistics don't tell the whole tale as we all know.
