That doesn't make sense as commercial aircraft travel is considered
about the safest form of travel. Of course they could be including
crop dusters. PPL would not, or should not be in that category.

Air travel is safer than other means of travel when considered by
distance traveled. So it's safer to travel a given distance by
commercial flying than by car. But, to my knowledge, already when
considering the risk by time in vehicle, commercial flying is more
dangerous than driving. Airline pilots cover such tremendous distances,
that even with a lower risk by mile they end up with a very significant
risk in total.
