First of all, statistics show it's safer than driving a car. Think about it: we hear about EVERY plane crash on the news, which really goes to show how rare they are. If we heard about ever car crash we'd never be able to hear about anything else.
One major flaw with those statistics:
Most car crashes do not end in fatality.
Most airline crashes do end in fatality.

Though I don't think this helped the cause much

Mediachick,
Honestly you have very little to be afraid of. Fear of death is in all of us, and like someone else noted, if it's your time wouldn't you rather be incinerated in .003s on impact than suffer 3 years with a terminal illness?
