How does that compare with other rocket systems?

Pretty poorly, Soyuz has 4 fatalities (Soyuz 1, Soyuz 11) during it's over 140 flights, Crew Dragon has none.
That's a unnormalized metric: shuttle had two failures in 135 flights and generally carried up way more people per flight and also did way more stuff per flight.
And how many failures in the most recent 100 Soyuz flights?

Crew dragon hasn’t had anywhere near enough launches to compare. F9 itself though has and its a great system.

Going to be a long time before it’s a trusty as a 737 max though.
