I know I have a bit of a UK-centric view of the world, but I find these figures hard to accept. I was looking at the stats recently of the number of fatalities on microlights in the UK. When you compare that to the number of microlight owners, its tiny. Certainly not anything like as dangerous as riding a bike. But then, I will happily admit I am going on anacdotal information, so someone out there know anything more?
