    Default Safest mode of travel is...

    "The macabre but exhaustive website planecrashinfo.com put the odds of being killed on a single airline flight at about
    one in 4.7 million
    across 78 major world airlines; among the airlines with the worst safety records, the odds rise to
    one in 2 million
    .

    A recent report from the National Safety Council put the lifetime odds of dying as a pedal cyclist at
    1 in 4,982.


    on a motorcycle that number jumps up to
    1 in 907 .

    as a pedestrian
    1 in 749.


    And as the occupant of a car a staggering
    1 in 415.



    the death risk for passengers of commercial airlines is one in 45 million flights.

    According to The New York Times, a traveler could fly every day for 123,000 years and still be safe.
    Although travel fatality statistics are represented in a variety of formats, commercial airlines are the safest mode of transport any way you look at it.


    See how many planes are in the Air over the U.S. right now .

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.
