7.5 Read yahoo answers to “What is the safest form of modern transport?”

Hey Arnold: The safest form of modern transport is the elevator. There are fewer elevator fatalities than any other.

Ellie B: What do you think is the safest form of transport? - Statistically, I think it's planes...but of the ones I use regularly, probably trains.

Dreamer: The safest form of transport is walking, because you only depend on yourself. You do it yourself, and you are happy with it. With everything else you can complain.

Howard L: Air transport is much safer than walking or bicycling. Statistically thousands more people die from falls or getting hit by cars while walking or bicycling. I'm not sure of how many die by drowning going to Hawaii from LA.
