Good Lord Don, relax.  You can die in any aircraft ever built.  Agonizing 
about statistics and how you're going to die, does no good.  Using the 
practices that we are all taught in order to become pilots is how you 
overcome these issues, and prepare for the unkown.  If you are this worried, 
don't fly.  Period.
Greg Ward
