Yeah but come on, can you really compare the number of people who use alcohol and/or tobacco with the number of people who own dangerous exotic pets?

People ALWAYS bring up these statistics. I hate flying, and people always bring up that cliched "ya know, you're more likely to get in a car crash than a plane crash". Yeah no shit, I drive a lot more than I fly. That doesn't ease my mind because I still know that if the plane goes down, there's going to be maybe half a minute of pure terror and despair followed by a horrible death. Give me the statistics on how many people survive plane crashes as opposed to car crashes.

Last year, more people were killed in fist fights than flame throwers, bazookas and atomic bombs combined. Does that mean someone's fist is more dangerous?
