The safest mode of transport: analysis and statistics
Thanks to modern transport, we can move freely over long distances. But which transport is the safest? Ironically, the safest mode of transport is an airplane. After the plane, the passenger can be ensured by the safety of the train, and only then the car. This is what statistics say. More information about this you can find out below.

First of all -
aircraft. Air transport is the safest!
If you choose transport for a trip or a trip, the statistics will definitely advise the flight. Contrary to the opinion of the majority, that the aircraft is the most unreliable and dangerous mode of transport - this is not so! And to all the fault of the wide resonance of the air crashes in the world. The very same facts say absolutely the opposite.
Every hour thousands of flights are made in the world. According to statistics, there are only 1 death per 1 million air passengers.
Each plane crash is a news with a note "lightning", which is discussed and followed closely by journalists. Always in a major air crash on television, shocking footage from the scene of the tragedy and lists of victims are shown, and mourning is also announced.
But if you think about it, 2-3 large air crashes take place in the year, and somewhere from a dozen small ones, you can estimate the approximate number of victims, it is somewhere 1-2 thousand people a year. And now think how many car accidents happen every day, when people die? And a month and a year? Only a month as a result of car accidents, about 2 thousand people die.
Despite the large number of victims in a plane crash, and after that, there are very few chances to survive, the number of victims is ten times less than in case of tragedies with other modes of transport.
The number of aircraft crashes has dropped by 36% lately. All due to the fact that aircraft are constantly being improved in everything, including safety. Before departure, the aircraft is thoroughly inspected and checked, and the flight itself is controlled both by the crew of the aircraft and by dispatchers on the ground.
Trains after
aircraft The second most secure mode of transport is the train. Statistics show that there are 18 deaths per 1 million passengers.
It is the railway message most people consider the safest mode of movement, but the dry figures say the opposite. Most likely, this is because there are rails under the train and they have their own separate route, when there is only air under the airplane. Despite the fact that the railway accident also has a resonance, however, it is not as significant as in air crashes.
Many people may object that the railway accident does not occur more often than air crashes, in which fewer people die. Nevertheless, the number of flights, passengers in them and the distance traveled is several times greater than that of other modes of transport.
Auto - unsafe
One of the most unsafe modes of transport are cars. Judging by the figures, there are 62 deaths per 1 million passengers.
The car is very unsafe. Unlike the two previous modes of transport, here the chances of getting into an accident are increasing due to other road users, which can cause an accident.
And now the numbers
And now let's give the statistical data on mortality. If above we took into account the number of deaths for the total number of passengers, then now consider the data on the kilometer traveled:
- Air traffic - 0,05 people;Railway communication - 0,9 people;
- Vehicles - 3.1 people.
Nevertheless, you can rely on statistics and facts, but you can still stick to your opinion, based on their personal assumptions.
