I understand it&#x27;s not intuitive, but the statistics are clear: If you have 100 times more people on commercial flights, then the flights would have to be 100 times less likely to crash to have the same risk to each passenger.<p>Let&#x27;s break this into two specific questions (assuming the source is correct):<p>1) How likely is it that a specific flight will crash?<p>Answer: it&#x27;s more likely that a private flight will crash than a commercial flight.<p>2) How likely is it that I will die on a private vs commercial flight?<p>Answer: your likelihood of dying is the roughly the same for both private and commercial flights.
