True, but some things are more dangerous than others. If you are at a small airstrip in Tanzania and have a choice between two airlines with knowledge that airline B has 9 times as many crashes per km flown as airline A, would it make a difference which you choose? After all, there is danger everywhere? If airline A fills up but says they'll be back in 4 hours and you can get on then will you wait on them or hop on airline B?
