In any case I think loading for GA activities is unfair. The FAA
stats indicate a fatality rate of 1.3 per 100,000 hours of flying,
which admittedly isn't as safe as commercial aviation but definitely
nowhere close to being a dangerous activity. By my reckoning I'm far
more likely to die during the 300 hours I spend a year behind the
wheel than the 30 or so a year I spend in my Cessna.


I wonder how the 1.3 in 100,000 compares to riding a motorcycle. Do the life
insurance companies load for that too?
