Not encouraging words for someone like myself who is about to start training, but I have to admit that I have come to a similar conclusion by speaking with various people.
I didn't mean to put you off...
I posted on your thread about car vs. plane engines that I would have more faith in a modern and well maintained aero engine than in a car one....so it's not all bad. Your slight fear may well actually have given you a head start in terms of safety while flying; certainly I didn't really consider the issue of crashing before learning to fly so it's good that you're thinking about it. You really won't be able to make a judgement as to what you feel comfortable doing until you've been flying a little while though.
Simply and well put.
Why thank you Fuji...
