Chance Of Death From Flying Has Halved In A Decade Say Mit Researchers

Is Flying Still Safe? MIT Study Reveals That Air Travel Is Safer Than Ever

Despite a spate of high-profile incidents, the risk of death by flying has halved in the past 10 years

For many people, flying can be a nerve-racking experience. But a new study published in August finds that commercial air travel is far safer than it ever has been.

The study, conducted by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), found that the risk of death by flying has halved in the past 10 years.

Here are some of the key findings of the study:

• The risk of death by flying is now 1 in 2.5 million, down from 1 in 1.2 million in 2012.
• The study found that this decline in risk is due to a number of factors, including improvements in aircraft safety technology, better pilot training, and more stringent safety regulations.
• Despite a spate of high-profile incidents, the study found that commercial air travel is still far safer than other forms of transportation, such as driving or taking a train.

The study's findings are reassuring for those who are concerned about the safety of air travel. However, it is important to remember that there is always some risk involved in flying.

To reduce your risk of injury or death in a plane crash, you should always follow the safety instructions of the flight crew.

You should also be aware of the risks associated with flying and make informed decisions about whether or not to fly.
