GA _is_ safer than some modes of transport. Was: Tragedy

Idiot. Your nonsense is "easily refuted."
In fact, the graph you attached from BTS compares apples and oranges. I
suggest a Stat 101 course from your local community college. Studies that
adjust usage rates using the same denominator (i.e. passenger miles, hours
travelled, etc.) all conclude that GA is the most dangerous form of
transportation. Here is one example:

Also, you may want to check the BLS studies of most dangerous occupations,
which can also serve as a proxy. Aircraft associated professions have the
highest mortality rates in the US, behind only lumbering.

Or, the common sense test. You suggest that Bicyclists and pedestrians
are at greater risk by "some measures." That may be true. "Some
measures" indeed.
