If you eliminate the *stupid* fatalities in GA, my guess is the risk goes

same for motorcycling...
Stupid includes VFR into IMC, Fuel Starvation, and low altitude
maneuvering.
too fast, no helmet & protective clothing, "watch this" etc.
Stupid pilots are their own worst enemies and flying is
notoriously unforgiving of stupidity.
I own a motorcycle and I have taken numerous flights with GA-aircraft as
a passenger. Both offer great pleasure and involve a risk that can be
influenced but not eliminated.
