I'm also a fully paid up member of "Safe Flyers Anonymous", but my background in statistical analysis leads me to suspect that it's unlikely to do me any good. Scrutiny of the 24 fatal incidents since 9/11 listed on AirSafe reveals that (apart from one depressurisation in Brazil with just a single fatality) your chances of surviving any such accident are slim - only 105 survivors compared with 2,141 fatalities.

Hope this isn't too depressing - remember that, even for the most frequent flyers, the chances of being involved in an aviation accident during your lifetime are much smaller than the chance of a single ticket winning the lottery!
