Happy to help. Of course if you really stripped GA safety down into
subcategories, I suspect recreational pilots would have the second worst
safety stats, behind the stunt pilots.

BTW, I never said GA is "dangerous." Dangerous is too subjective. Just
that GA is riskier than driving, flying commerical, driving, and yes, even
walking. I fly in my buddy's 172 (I have to operate the GPS though..).
Only on very clear days with minimal winds -- then I trust him. He will
fly in conditions that are pretty marginal for a VFR pilot, and he has
gotten "disoriented" over the Long Island Sound when I was in his plane
once. I just hope he doesn't become another statistic.

He doesn't seem to believe that EVERYTHING is about managing risk.
