Of all the thousands of flights a day, hundreds of thousands of passengers without a single accident or death, there's no way it could be 1 in 20,000.

It is not saying that for every flight you take, there is a 1 in 20,000 chance of an accident. It is saying that of all the deaths in the past X number of years 1/20,000 of them were the result of an air travel accident.
So, if you were to fly as often as is average, you run a 1 in 20,000 risk of dieing because of it.
