| Subject: How Risky Is Flying?..........Safer Than You Think. Tue Sep 30, 2008 10:16 pm | |
| Trying to judge whether a particular risk is big or small is, well, a risky business. There's a lot more to it than you might think. Flying in airplanes is a case in point. You'd think that you could just find out the numbers—the odds—and that would be it. The annual risk of being killed in a plane crash for the average American is about 1 in 11 million. On that basis, the risk looks pretty small. Compare that, for example, to the annual risk of being killed in a motor vehicle crash for the average American, which is about 1 in 5,000. So When you look at it,flying is pretty much the safest way you can travel. Source! | |
