Uh... it was an example showing the flaw in the logic. You can't compare a 300-seat jetliner to a motorcycle in a metric of "fatalities per trip", because that doesn't give you any useful information about the subject under discussion ("am I going to die on this trip?"). It's just bad risk analysis.

Luckily no one was doing that. By your logic we shouldn’t compare anything because far more people travel by car than plane in a given year.
