  • Motorcycle:

    16 to 18 fatal motorcycle accidents per million hours ridden

    Personal flights:

    21.1 fatal accidents per million flight hours

    I’m really surprised at that.

    Thinking about it though most bikers I know are young, have good reflexes and are mostly using a motorbike for commuting or travelling which is probably lower risk than the cliche teenage fool on a superbike my mind jumped to.

    By contrast, the vast majority of light aircraft pilots I know are 60+, many 70+ with extensive health issues, heart problems and likely comparatively poor reflexes.

    corporate aviation – the world of bizjets – is relatively safe. This sector only saw 0.48 fatal accidents per million flight hours from 2012 to 2021

    General aviation overall:

    9.5 fatal crashes per million flight hours
