Damn. I can't find it. It came up on a Google News alert this AM. So it
was just published. But it is in AOPA somewhere. The guy named Cerula
(spelling??) wrote (inanely) about the accident stats;

I was suspicious of the quote to begin with because it is so poorly written;
AOPA's copy is usually competently edited. If you can't find a link to the
statement, I'll assume it was not in fact issued by AOPA.

AOPA posted this gem on accident statistics:

"Now put this into perspective with car crashes, household accidents,
medical mishaps, and the innumerable other risks of everyday life. We're
talking losses on a monthly basis that likely exceed aviation losses for
a
decade. The risk in aviation is negligible compared to some other common
activities when exposure is considered. On a per-mile or per-trip count
we
might not fare as well as we'd like, but most of us aren't aloft with
anywhere near the same frequency compared to traveling in automobiles."

But you fail to mention where this quote appears. Can you provide a link,
please?
