how many car trips per day in the us? must be billions. deaths per mile* per traveler should be the metric, not number of trips.

ps: safest method of transportation is the elevator.

edit:*mile traveled

Elevators don't travel any distance so if anyone is hurt by one they immediately lose by your metrics

are you 100% sure that elevators don't travel any distance? or are we going to argue semantics over what distance is or isn't.

Just throwing this out - do we include the altitude the plane climbs in its distance traveled?

You would need to keep track of how high airplanes fly if you did argue semantics

in three dimensions you have three axis. all of those measure distance traveled from 0.
