1 in 10,000 people in the US die each year in a car accident.
So it would require 3,000 deaths per year to approach cars.
It actually works out reasonable as an estimate: if you spend 1-2 hours in a car each day, that’s 4-8% of your year; a week on a cruise ship would be 2% of a year. So we’re within an order of magnitude on exposure to each.
So with 30 people per year dying to falling off boats, it’s much, much less dangerous than cars.
