Safety Stats
Discussion over on the Airlines and Routes thread about how Virgin's new trains will impact on MAN/LHR services. One contribution compares relative safety of air and rail travel, claiming the former to be 27 times safer. I'm assuming this is correct, though I doubt the multiple, and is based on casualties per 100k (or million/billion) pax/vehicle kilometres.
Does anyone know where, ie websites, I can access comparative figures on other bases eg casualties per passenger/vehicle journey?
No agenda, just trying to improve my understanding of the subject and of stats proving anything.
