782 American children 14 or under drowned in 2003, the last year for which statistics are available, but drowning rates have been declining steadily in recent decades. Each drowning is a tragedy, but the National Safety Council says the average American child is more likely to die in a plane crash than drown accidentally

Isn't that wrong? How can the chance of a child getting killed in a plane crash be higher than drowning when the number of kids who get killed in plane crashes is much lower than those who drown?

There are far more kids who go swimming than who fly.
