I worked as an Occupational Health and Safety consultant for 28 years.

When people work, there is a chance that they may be injured or even killed.

So, what is the chance of that happening?

The chance is measured by the "risk": risk means "exposure to the chance of injury or loss."

The risk of being injured or killed in an airplane accident is extremely low.

On average, every day more than 8 million people fly.

THE RISKS

Motorcycle... 212
Car................. 7
Ferry.............. 3
Train.............. 0.4
Bus................ 0.1
Plane............. 0.07

CONCLUSION

Flying is the safest mode of transportation (100 times safer than driving in a car)

Fear is usually attributed to the unknown. Figure out exactly what scares you about flying and ask a pilot for clarification. With a better understanding, you may be a little less scared!  It's not sorcery!  PS:  I am a pilot :)

I'm scared of flying as well.  I always find it helps to have a good book.  Also, I try never to look out of the window, and never to sit by the window if I can help it!
