Apologies, I thought OP was just talking about flying in general rather than specifically the 737 max but I have re-read and it's clear. I think I just forgot as I was writing the response!

> Don't know if deaths includes pedestrian or bikes killed by cars, could be irrelevant if you only compare your odds to be alive after journey.

I agree this could be debated, but I don't think it's too useful to say "The journey was safer because rather than kill the person travelling it only killed a random pedestrian".
