C'mon....I've never even seen that figure, have you???

No. But without that data, the data you posted can be misleading.
The result you are hoping to demonstrate...that air travel in a private plane is safer than travel in a passenger car...is the result of mathematical calculations. Only ONE of the variables required to compute that is the number of accidents per year involving each form of travel. Not the ONLY one. That is all I was trying to demonstrate.
So don't get your knickers in a twist. I didn't say you were wrong. Only that additional data is required to extrapolate that air travel in a private plane is safer than travel in a passenger car.

The pilots I know say it is not. It is like driving a sports car.
