You seem to have interpreted "under 1%" as "almost 1%" instead of "less than 1%". Less than 1% includes 0%... which it isn't,

Sure! But if you actually knew the figure, you'd say it. If you were making it up you'd use weasel words like "under 1%" when you knew the figure wasn't near 1%.

In any case, if you think any of what I said is made up, only way to be sure would be to check it out yourself, wouldn't it?

Sure, if authorities were in the habbit of reporting road deaths split by "experimental" and "non-exprimental" cars. If they aren't, the only option is to make it up.

I wasn't able to find any stats, but it seems irrelevant anyway. You basically saw someone saying "please don't try to sit on an airplane as it flies", and decided to reply with "that's ridiculous fear mongering, less than 1% of aircraft deaths are from people riding on aircraft". The fact experimental cars are a tiny proportion of total cars makes your comparison meaningless.

weasel words like "under 1%"
