  • Yes.

    It has always been a pet peeve of mine that I would find an interesting topic while browsing all on reddit, with a healthy number of upvotes and comments but regardless mods will bluster in and lock it because it’s not quite on topic.

    Back in the early days of Internet forums when moderators found an off topic post they would move it to the relevant sub , and there would typically be an “Other”, “Off-Topic” or “Random” as a catch all.

    I’ve never understood why threaded social media is missing such a basic moderation function.


  • Motorcycle:

    16 to 18 fatal motorcycle accidents per million hours ridden

    Personal flights:

    21.1 fatal accidents per million flight hours

    I’m really surprised at that.

    Thinking about it though most bikers I know are young, have good reflexes and are mostly using a motorbike for commuting or travelling which is probably lower risk than the cliche teenage fool on a superbike my mind jumped to.

    By contrast, the vast majority of light aircraft pilots I know are 60+, many 70+ with extensive health issues, heart problems and likely comparatively poor reflexes.

    corporate aviation – the world of bizjets – is relatively safe. This sector only saw 0.48 fatal accidents per million flight hours from 2012 to 2021

    General aviation overall:

    9.5 fatal crashes per million flight hours
