Can anyone back up the stats, I know I have seen them printed somewhere

This probably isn't what you are thinking of, but it is tbe only study I've
found on the web that compares the accident rate of various modes of
transportation and normalizes the data:

For my own comparative purposes, GA flying appears to be ~7 times more
likely to lead to a fatal accident than driving (rounded average of columns
1 and 4 in table 5; all the other columns use measures not relevant to my
own situation).
