      My guess is part of what’s throwing that statistic off is the relatively short journeys of most ferries.

      Maybe per hours of travel would be better? It would also make airplanes less of an outlier.

      Airplanes should then be split to “general aviation” and “commercial aviation” to assuage people’s fears. General aviation is a lot riskier than flying commercial.

      If you’ve seen Steven Spielberg’s ‘War of the Worlds’, you’ll know ferries can be quite perilous.

        It might even include medical emergencies while on board.
