I've also never considered the Boeing 737 I climb into every week to commute for work very survivable in a crash either, but I still do it for some reason.This gave me a chuckle. I'm a pilot, but I have always known there's not a lot of sense in getting into an aluminum tube, 30,000 feet in the air, and going 600 mph. But we accept the risk. Overdrive magazine interviewed a retiring trucker who received an award for 3 million miles with no tickets or accident. They asked what the most important thing you can do for safety. His reply was " If you drive just a bit slower than the rest of traffic, it will open a large gap in front of you. That gap is a lifeline" That's something we can do. There's always going to be risk. If we don't accept it, and stay at home in our recliners, now they say that is as bad as smoking. So there's risk in just staying home too so we might as well enjoy life.
