> an un-fixed MAX-8 is orders of magnitude safer than your car ride to the airport.

Of the 346 people that died in the last two plane crashes, not a single one of them died in a car on the way to the airport.

Of all the people who died of the Spanish Flu, not a one died in World War One before that.

The reverse can be said about the hundreds of thousands of car crash casualties last year.

I was assuming the person was trying to avoid dying, not trying to avoid plane crashes in particular. Someone who wants to avoid a plane crash but would ride a motorcycle without a helmet to the airport obviously needs to use a different strategy.
