No, you&#x27;re mis-interpreting the data. The commercial aviation record is as low as it is <i>in spite of</i> the large number of people on board. So the chances of accidents in general aviation are many times higher for any given flight using the one or the other mode.<p>In other words - and to make it really simple - if you are given the choice of going with a commercial carrier or with a general aviation craft to the same destination in a single flight then you would do wise to take the commercial carrier.
