Be careful, in your link, they are using all GA aircraft including business
jets operated by professional crews which are many times safer than small GA
aircraft.

I did a bit of googling and found the following link.

It suggests that GA flying is 5x safer than driving for non-fatal
accidents, but that driving is 5X safer than GA flying for fatal
accidents. Interesting....
