"...still apples to oranges, but before we were comparing grapes to grapefruit, so it's a little better:"

Point taken on Fatal Accidents vs Fatalities, but my point was that, as too many here and elsewhere go to the bottom line 'body count', the sheer numbers don't support a "way too dangerous" position.

Nor, Sam, did I say that GA was less dangerous than driving.... Simply that, from a statistical perspective, the numbers don't support the hysteria regarding this tragic accident.

I'm still more worried about the drive to the airport than actually flying...

On that we agree. Yet, I love to fly...no matter what type of aircraft...and am willing to risk the trip to the airport.
