Not really.

Most airplane accidents are during takeoff/landing and are not a "fall 
out of the sky" kind of thing.  Deaths (like in any other "sport") are 
far more rare than say, crunching the nose into dirt in a field during a 
forced/emergency landing and breaking an ankle or leg.

As always, driving your car to work (or to the mountains to go 
rock-climbing, or to the airport to go flying) is by far the most 
hazardous thing you'll probably do all day, unless you are exceedingly 
reckless at other activities.

Folks do that without even thinking about it.  They then discuss how 
hazardous the other activities are.  LOL!
