That's because most people aren't rich. Your post has a statistical problem :-/
I think it was more an interesting way to go. I mean rich people die in everyday car crash doesn't get headlines but people die in deep sub to the Titanic or on space mission to the moon etc do.
Most normal people dont die in stupid ways. The rich are special in that they disproportionaly die in rich people toys like planes, helicopters etc.
