Crash in an aircraft or car (at least over most land) and it usually

quantitatively more dangerous than cruising, I would think, but the
problem with cruising is if you survive a rapid sinking or getting run
down or rammed...what then?

hen dire things happen in sailboats, you probably have more time to
catch up on your regretting than in a plane.

Unpleasant possibilities and the best argument for a personal EPIRB,
perhaps, particularly if single-handing.

Yes indeed. I'm not in favor of singlehanding, but then I'm a social
critter.
