If it causes me to drop my peanuts it's definitely a crash.

I thought you did that on a regular basis? especially when "she who must be obeyed" is standing behind you when you don't realize it and scares the patootie out of you. (oh - maybe that's me....or bubba....I don't know...)

I dropped my peanuts once.
I believe in the five second rule.

LOL Although that is not a metric I studied, it does seem reasonable. I suppose sloshing the cocktail would also qualify as a metric.

Bapu, if you're eating peanuts while standing in a cow pasture, you may have bigger issues. In an unrelated observation, drinking a carbonated beverage while inhaling Eau de Pig Pen, produces a singularly intense experience. You know how the senses of taste and smell are closely related? When you inhale deeply of a fresh, rather deep pig pen (a unique scent among the animal kingdom) and imbibe an ice cold cola product, there is a disctinct, rather overwhelming taste that floods your mouth, and then tears down your throat all the way to your extremely unhappy stomach. It's one of those experiences you wish tasted as good as bile. Try it sometime.

But, consider that in 2009, the fatal accident rate for U.S. Scheduled Airline flilghts was about 1 per 17 million flight hours (50 deaths):
http://www3.ntsb.gov/aviation/Table1.htm
In terms of driving safety, this is the equivalent of driving over 540 years (25K miles per year, avg 40 mph = 625 hr/year) without a fatality. When someone says flying is safer than driving, it's a pretty large understatement...
The problem with these kind of conclusions is the choice of metric compared can influence the conclusion. Why should "miles" or "flight hours" be the metric? Most car trips are ridiculously short compared to plane trips. If you make the comparison "deaths to trips taken", does flying still come out way ahead?
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Thanks, I'm always up for things that extend me out of my comfort zone. A carbon dioxide and pig pen cocktail sounds just the thing.

Are spectacular deaths given more points in this system? Is extra credit given for, say, slamming your car into the side of a mountain resulting an avalanche that buries an entire town, and destroying thousands of screaming people and, thereby resulting in at least two really bad SyFy channel movies starring Dean Cain? I mean, something that horrific should really count for more, in my opinion.

I often wonder what it would be like if I got my bottom lip caught in an escalator. I'll bet everyone else wonders that too, that's why they all seem to have that same fixed expression when riding one.

Safety statistics are traditionally stated with respect to hours of exposure. Reliability, availability, etc., are all stated that way. You can also state the metric as events - departures, landings, etc., but these are typically secondary metrics. Depends on what you are trying to state. When one talks about the probability of a fatal event, the metric of choice is invariably "per hour" of something.
For 2009, there were about 10 million departures - so each plane trip, on the average, was about 1.7 hours, and there was about one death for each 200,000 departures.

Not me. I'm still trying to sus out where the stairs go at the end of the line and where they come from at the start. Pure magic I assume.

On the average, there is one death per birth, so being born is a death trap. But don't you hate that brief moment of indecision just before you choose the step to step on?

I'm used to wonder what they did with all of the layers of the soles of people's feet they scraped off at the end of each ride. What else would explain the purpose of an escalator? One day, my mother cooked some liver-loaf. I didn't wonder anymore.

Can somebody stop this forum momentarily?
I'm feeling a little giddy, I need to get off before a rupture appears in the fabric.

A good landing is one you can walk away from. A great landing allows you to reuse the plane...

I don't think I will, thank you very much. I've done that with a coffee...

I know! Just when you finally doze off the flight attendant shakes your shoulder and says..... ....Captain, it is time to land the plane now.

Stalls are a good thing. When you go into a public restroom and there are no stalls, people can feel a little uncomfortable. Especially if you try to make eye contact.
