Traveling is very common in today's busy life. We do it for
work and also for leisure activities. While traveling we ought to choose the safest
way to travel since our safety is the first priority. And every day we hear about accidents and
fatalities that happens in the transport areas. According to a survey conducted
in the year 2015 flying is the safest way to travel.
This survey was conducted in 2015 in
the USA. According to this survey 848.1 million people flew to and from the US and
there were 444 aviation-related deaths. Flying comes with a lot of risks even
though it is considered as the safest mode of transport. In 1985, there were
over 1,500 aviation fatalities in the United States, with around one-third of
those coming from airline accidents. Since then scientists have been modifying
and developing new technologies for the safety of the passengers. As a result,
in 2014 there were only 439 aviation related travel fatalities reported in the
USA and a total of 761 cases reported worldwide. Compared to the other modes of
travel these numbers are a very small number.
The most chosen mode of transport around the world is the
automobile transportation. This is also the most dangerous type of
transportation and makes up the majority of our everyday travel. Almost every
one who travels owns an automobile, making it the most available mode of
transportation. In 2014 the department of transportation reported that 32675
cases of automobile fatalities in the USA. Automobile accidents are the most
common type of accidents that occur world wide and this type of accidents have
severe life-threatening consequences on the drivers and
others as well. Some of the other modes of transport such as railroad transport
have a lower fatality rate compared to the other modes of transport. In 2014
there were only 769 reported cases of railroad related fatalities. In
conclusion I would like to say that flying is the safest mode of
transportation.
