planes vs cycles

Just because a
vehicle carries more passengers, that doesn't mean it's unfair to take that
into account when comparing safety.


Depends how you are measuring "safety", what you are comparing it to, and to
what end.

If there's only two airliner flights in a year, each carrying 300 passengers,
one crashes, and they all die.... and there's only two motorcycle trips in that
same year, and one crashes, killing the rider, is the plane really 302 times
more dangerous than the motorcycle?

Are you 302 times more likely to die in a plane crash than by riding a
motorcycle?
