That's only true for airline flying, and doesn't include the first 5 miles of the trip which statistically are more dangerous than riding a motorcycle without a helmet. The accident rate of flying small airplanes is similar to riding a motorcycle, the difference being about 50% of motorcycle accidents have nothing to do with the safety of the motorcycle driver while over 90% of airplane accidents can be traced to pilot error.
