Can anyone tell me how safety statistics for soaring compares with
statistics for driving automobiles?

For the reasons given by other posters that may not be the best
comparison.
In Australia flying gliders is about as dangerous as crop dusting.
Towing gliders with power planes is 10 times as dangerous per flying
hour as cropdusting for the towplane pilot.
