He fell for the airplane meme

Except not? Consider the amount of miles traveled by a single plane every year and the amount of miles traveled by a car. Which one travels more? Even if a plane crashes it will have a LOT more miles than a car.

>not just kayaking across the atlantic when you need to go to yurop

Good argument

>plane: travels in empty sky, still crashes and burns, no survivors
>car: travels in 2D plane full of other cars and obstacles, crashes are more likely yet you're more likely to survive them

You're a big guy

>The odds of surviving a car crash are way better.

the odds of being involved in a car crash are way higher than being involved in an airplane crash

People do all sorts of dangerous things to fill their mostly meaningless lives. They're willing to add risk to their life, to suffer the certain toxins and radiation found at altitude and breathing in dozens of people's exhalations of bacteria, viruses and other diseases. People were not meant to live at the height of the highest mountains. This is why we don't find megacities on mountaintops.

For you

That is objectively false. Cars have more fatalities per mile than commercial aircraft.
