alt Hacker NewsI'm kinda interesting in the same statistics for trains, although I wouldn't be surprised if we don't travel near that distance with trains.

The same statistic for trains is a few hundred deaths per "passenger-light-year". Or 0.004 fatalities per 100 million miles. [1]

Some back of the envelope calculations give me roughly ~40,000 deaths per passenger-light-year if you travel by car instead of train.
