Yes, but a lot more people drive cars than fly small planes. To make a more accurate comparison, one would have to take some kind of average, like, deaths per mile, or deaths per hour of travel.

Here’s the deal.. .when I have a “engine failure” in my car. . .I just pull over and call for a tow. In a plane. . it’s “Mayday. . Mayday.” Flying is much more risky because the consequences resulting from mechanical failures. . .Murphy rules the air. Very few fender benders in the air.
