Statistically, one is more likely to get hurt in  a car crash going to or from the airport than on the flight. Towards proof:
Last time I flew commercial was Newark- Las Vegas.
Nonstop out; two legs coming back. That's three different aircraft, almost coast-to-coast, twice. Most hazardous part of the trip: getting sideswiped by a cab as we were turning into the car rental return drivewayat the LV airport  on our way to our flight home!!
Nobody hurt, but delay caused by the accident caused us to miss our flight, which is why I had to opt for the next flight, which had a stop and plane-change in Cleveland.
