Be careful, in your link, they are using all GA aircraft including business
jets operated by professional crews which are many times safer than small GA
aircraft.

I did a bit of googling and found the following link.

http://www.ghafi.org/download/GA-Analysis.1.pdf

It suggests that GA flying is 5x safer than driving for non-fatal
accidents, but that driving is 5X safer than GA flying for fatal
accidents. Interesting....

According to information obtained from a friend who works at the AOPA

Flight
Safety Foundation, he indicated that a rough estimation would compare

the
safety of flying a GA aircraft being as safe as driving a motorcycle.

Driving a
car is safer than flying
