What is fascinating about the Australian study are some of the normalized
numbers in Appendix A showing that even bicyclists and pedestrians are

Comparing aviation and pedestrians by looking at the accident rate per
mile is sheer nonsense. Compare it by the hour and it looks a lot
differently. You can bias the results at your will by defining what you
compare. (I'm working enough with statistics to know how to treat the
results.)

Actually, the most dangerous thing in aviation is the attitude of some
pilots that aviation is not dangerous.
