Fear of Flying
Your lifetime risk of dying in a plane crash is only 1 in 5,552, according to the National Safety Council. To wit, your lifetime chances of dying in a car crash are 1 in 257. Not that you should freak out about that either. Wearing your seatbelt improves your chances of surviving a car crash by 50 percent. But if you're still not convinced about planes, then go Down Under with Qantas Airlines, which boasts the world's best safety record, with zero plane-crashes in the entire 50-year history of the airline. Even when a minivan-sized chunk of the airplane blew off midair, Qantas pilots still managed to land the plane safely. Good on ya, flight crew!
