It's a lot more unique.
There are 12 deaths per million hours flown in commercial aviation - that's about 1 every 83,000 hours. If you stayed airborne 24/7, it would take nine and a half years to fly 83,000 hours.
If you go on one rountrip flight per week; three hours each way, it would take over 265 years.
Don't worry - just be careful driving to and from the airport.
