But?

What if we do the calculation based on fatal accidents per unit of aircraft manufactured... Isn't it then alarmingly high?

For example if only 1,000 aircraft (of a given type) are produced, maybe 1% will be involved in fatal accidents over their life time.

Can we do the same calculation for ship, train, car, bus etc? Tens of thousands of cars, busses and trains are produced for example.
