Thank you for the link. The report shows for GA overall 1.33 fatal
accidents per 100,000 hours in 2002. If we use an average speed of
125 mph, we have 1.33 fatal accidents for 12.5 million miles.

Anybody have motorcycle data?

Much information is available in this report:


I'm not sure how anyone came to making this comparison, but I've been riding
for 35 years and I can tell you that i doesn't take nuch cockpit time to
determine that flying exposes you to less danger than riding. Now, if 30,000
other people started flying 10 feet away while phoning, eating, reading,
sleeping, etc. things would clearly change. But for the basic premise, you
don't even need the stats.
