If you eliminate the *stupid* fatalities in GA, my guess is the risk goes
down by 1/2.

same for motorcycling...

Stupid includes VFR into IMC, Fuel Starvation, and low altitude
maneuvering.

too fast, no helmet & protective clothing, "watch this" etc.

Stupid pilots are their own worst enemies and flying is
notoriously unforgiving of stupidity.

I own a motorcycle and I have taken numerous flights with GA-aircraft as
a passenger. Both offer great pleasure and involve a risk that can be
influenced but not eliminated.
