I can’t remember where I heard, or read, this stat, but here goes:
Most of air travel mileage occurs, naturally, way up in the air where there is nothing to bump into etc.
But if you take the mileage from just the take-offs and landings, where the majority of accidents occur, then it is statistically safer to ride a motorbike through the heart of London during rush hour.
This is probably made-up bullshit, but it struck me as a funny thing to do with stats.
