    Flying in a plane, inherently risky?

    Through good design actually extremely safe, effectively eliminated the risk.

    Not completely but close:

    "If a passenger boarded a flight at random, once a day, everyday, it would statistically be over 21,000 years before he or she would be killed."

    Life has risk, even choosing to stay at home has risk. Still if aircraft engineers thought like financiers that failure was an acceptable outcome it would be a very different story.
