Fatalities Accidents/hull loss
Takeoff 27% 17%
Landing 15% 52%
Thus there is a much lower risk of getting into an accident on takeoff,
but takeoff accidents result in a higher rate of fatalities.
Though my two accidents followed landings, there have been a couple
takeoffs that scared me far more than any landings.
