#Survive

The chances of being involved in an airplane accident are extremely low when compared to other forms of travel.  Even if you are involved in one, your chances of survival are very high – 96% of air accident victims survive.  Once an airplane accident occurs, though, whether you live or die may seem beyond your control in ways that, say, a car accident might not.

While some air accidents are not survivable, the vast majority of plane crashes can be survived by arming yourself with a little information. The actions you take before, during, and after a plane crash could make the difference between life and death. In fact, experts say that up to 1/3 of all past air accident deaths could have been prevented if the passengers had known what to do ahead of time and had taken the proper steps during the emergency.

The chances of any single flight being involved in an accident is 1 in 1.2 million

The chances of dying in a car accident are 1 in 112 (over an entire lifetime)
