By hours, flying is substantially safer than car or foot, on par with trains. By quantity of trips, substantially less safe than walking.

That's on average. The Max is historically about 30 times more dangerous than the average, putting it on the same ballpark as cars.

But of course, all the historical problems have been fixed...

Thanks for the stats! Interestingly traveling by space shuttle comes down to 70.000 deaths per 1 billion hours traveled, compared 30.8 deaths per 1 billion hours flown.

Like anything else, not all operators are equal. I probably wouldn't want to try my luck as an Amtrak frequent traveler.
