Only if you're driving a really long way.

A few percent of us on this list (private) are likely to die in aircraft accidents sooner or later.

A fair proportion of those few will be idiots who try aerobatics without training or similar dumb stuff. Other people are as competent as can be, but still get unlucky or overstretch themselves. Scott Crossfield (a famous X15 pilot) died a few years back in a small aircraft, so it can happen to the best of us.

On the other hand, flying is great, so in my book it's worthwhile. It's not a question anybody else can answer for you.
