Default Safety of GA flying

Statistics show that GA is more dangerous than driving.

No. Statistics show a higher frequency of injury or death per
hour with flying than driving. That isn't the same thing as
showing anything wrt danger.


OK, change it to "Statistics show that GA is less safe than driving."

I believe the problem exists in your head. Why don't you let it out?

It's too bad you don't understand the limitations of statistics.

@b28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com:

I've seen lots of stats comparing GA to the Airlines and GA to cars,
but I'm curious (for comparison's sake) to see the accident rates for
private vehicles to commercial. I would think that there would be a
corresponding difference.


As would I...

So far, you have not posted a single item of information on this
topic. Instead of resorting to ad hominems, why don't you explain the
limitations of statistics to the rest of us?
