Are some forms of transport safer than others?

Stands to reason.
I would be safer driving an Abrahms tank than I would be driving a Scion. It wouldn't make OTHER drivers safer. Just me.
On the other hand, if I put in ten million miles driving an automobile, and ten million miles of my lifetime flying a commercial airplane, I would statistically be more likely to be injured or killed in an automobile.
Another comparison. I would be much safer, IN A COLLISION, in a modern passenger car with seat belts, airbags and crumple zones than I would be in a 1950s or 1960s era car.
So, it depends on what and how you read statistics, and in making fair and reasonalble comparisons. (not anything like, "Is it safer to ride an Abrahms tank in battle or in a Scion pulling into a grocery store parking lot?") |

Yes.
The insurance industry ran a computer program to find out who the safest drivers are. What they did was to sort for the least common factors.
According to the insurance experts, the safest transport is a forklift being driven on a turnpike in Vermont by a 96 year old woman at 03:00 a.m. |

Anything can happen. You never know if a drunk driver might hit your car, bus, bike, anything. It's a risk we take in life - for example someone might knock my cup of water onto my computer causing an electric fire that killed a whole block. Or they might buy a bagel and die of food poisoning. We just gotta live with these risks. All we can do is reduce these risks. Have first aid gear in your car, or with you if you are on a bike. |
