What is the safest form of travel
Answers:
<Answer changed from walking>
Elevator.
Walking is not the safest form of travel (odds of a trip-and-fall induced death were 1 in 246 in 2001). Airplanes are MUCH safer than walking (1 in 20,000 in 2001). *Note* these are 2001 statistics, which was an unusually bad year for airplane travel due to 9/11. However, the safest form of travel is still the Elevator, which generates roughly 27 fatalities/year. The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries reported 244 deaths in the 12 years 1992-2003 - about 20 per year - related to elevators and escalators. Of these, 173 involved work on or near elevators and 68 of those killed were elevator passengers - people entering or riding in elevators while at work. While elevators generate ~20 kill/year, only 6 people per year die from actually being INSIDE the elevator. To put this in comparison, you are ten times more likely to die by being struck by lightning (60 deaths, anually) than from riding inside an elevator.
