Then surely you've seen the safety rates for commercial airlines and know that ejection seats don't always save lives. lol
Aviation accidents and incidents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaWhen measured on a passenger-distance calculation, air travel is the safest form of transportation available: these figures are the ones mentioned by the air industry when quoting statistics on air safety. A typical statement is this one by the BBC: "UK airline operations are among the safest anywhere. When compared against all other modes of transport on a fatality per mile basis air transport is the safest six times safer than traveling by car and twice as safe as rail."[2]
However, when measured by fatalities per person transported, buses are the safest form of transportation and the number of air travel fatalities per person are surpassed only by bicycles and motorcycles. This statistic is the one used by the insurance industry when calculating insurance rates for air travel.[3]
For every billion kilometers traveled, trains have a fatality rate 12 times larger than air travel, while automobiles have a fatality rate 62 times larger. On the other hand, for every billion journeys, buses are the safest form of transportation. By the last measure air transportation is three times more dangerous than car transportation and almost 30 times more dangerous than bus
I can not wait for those to finish. I really really really hate flying.
so what are my chances of dying each time i take a commercial flight ?
Here is a link to your chances when you take a commercial flight.
Air safety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basically per journey, you have 117/1,000,000,000 chance of dying. (only better than bicycles' 170, and motocycles' 1640)
Per traveled hour, you have 30.8/1,000,000,000 chance of dying.
(worse than buses' 11.1 and rail's 30)
Per kilometer traveled, you have 5/10,000,000 chance of dying, which is the best.
so a one in 10 million chance of dying scares you ? a crazy frequent flier might take 20000 flights in his lifetime or so. thats a 2/1000 chance of lights out due to flying. somrthing to think about.
i am not worried at all now i fly just a few round trips a year thats it.
Actually I don't mind riding on those, because at least they have ejection seats and parachutes. It is the commercial airplane I don't feel comfortable with. Ironically, my major in college was aerospace engineering.
Well, you know what. Airlines that promote the safety rate to you on the base of death per distance traveled, which airplane is the safest to travel. However by insurance calculations which is by per trip, airplane is the worst in safety record.

So, I will stick to my travel plan.
Yep I hate flying too, you always have this thought that if the plane goes down all the safety presentation well is moot heh. I suppose all you can do is make sure the airline isn't a dodgy one.
