Vehicles allow us to quickly and comfortably move around the world, but at what cost? Every year, millions of people die in transport. We have compiled a rating to identify the safest mode of transport, this was helped by the statistics of traffic accidents in 2015.Some positions in the rating may surprise, but you can not argue with the statistics.
10
Moped and motorcycle
Mopeds and motorcycles rightfully occupy the tenth position of our rating of the safest modes of transport. For many years, such transport is considered the most dangerous and 2015 is no exception. Of the total traffic, motorcycles make up only 1%, while on the road 20% of deaths fall on this type of transport.
In order to survive, remember that you can not develop a dashing speed of more than 70 km / h. Desperate bravado is not only inappropriate, it can also cost the life of the driver. And, if he took a passenger with him. .
125 deaths according to statistics accounted for every 1.5 billion km.motorcycle rental. The death rate of drivers of conventional cars is 28 times less than the death rate of motorcycle drivers. These are the modern facts.
9
Bicycle
On the ninth line of the rating in the list of the safest modes of transport for 2015, it is considered the "younger brother" of a moped bike. Bicycles are considered one of the most dangerous types of transport from year to year, according to official statistics. This year was not an exception, unfortunately.
Most often, accidents involving bicycles occur in a collision with cars. The number of such accidents on the roads is constantly growing. Therefore, cyclists should be most attentive. Since most often in such an accident teenagers die, all parents should take this moment into account. At 1.5 billion km.according to statistics, there are 35 deaths.
8
Metro
At the eighth position in the rating of the safest mode of transport for statistics in 2015, it turned out to be a subway. This type of transport in the event of ruining the lives of many people at once. And emergency situations in the metro are especially dangerous for citizens. If we talk about Russia, most often the victims are Moscow metro passengers.
7
Ferry
Ferries are not so safe, as would like lovers of water transport. According to the statistics of this year, 1.5 billion km.there are 20 deaths. In particular, it should be noted that not every death occurs as a result of a crash. There are cases when passengers fall overboard. Water transport is also unsafe!
6
Spaceship
The spacecraft takes 6th place in our rating of the safest modes of transport for 2015.Only 18 spacecraft from those that were sent to boundless space, since the very first flight in 1961, could not go back. And this is with an impressive amount of transport of this type, sent into space. The total number of ships was 530. It should be taken into account that people did not die in outer space. Tragedies occurred during takeoff or at the time of landing. According to statistics, 1.5 billion km.there are 7 human deaths.
5
Minibus
In the middle of the rating of the safest transport were minibuses. Unfortunately, not infrequently people die when traveling on this type of transport, often because of the low qualifications of drivers.
4
Vehicle
Previously, cars were considered an incredibly dangerous type of transport. So, how, in the statistics of 2015, one of the safest types of transport was a car? Everything is very simple. Machine design has been substantially refined in recent years. Thus, the number of accidents significantly decreased.
The new statistics show that by 1.5 billion km.there are four deaths per share of cars. However, this does not mean that you can safely forget about security measures or become fans of a crazy ride.
3
Bus
At 1 billion km.there are 0.5 deaths according to official statistics. This applies to ordinary buses. Therefore, in the rating of the most secure modes of transport for 2015, it was the buses that were on the third place of honor.
In Europe, this type of public transport is among the safest. In Egypt things are worse, as in the Russian Federation. But still, in the third position of the rating, the buses are deservedly. However, do not forget about the terrible incidents associated with this type of transport.
One should at least recall how in the capital the bus was defaced by a truck. And this is not an isolated case!
2
Aircraft
In second place are the aircraft. Although, in previous years, this type of transport was the top line of such ratings. But, according to the statistics of 2015, the aircraft can not be classified as the safest mode of transport.
Nevertheless, 0.5 deaths account for 1.5 billion km, if we take into account also small aircraft with helicopters. Commercial ships will always surpass the danger of conventional light aircraft. However, we should not forget that the worst thing, in the case of air crashes, is the fact that almost no one from a huge number of passengers can not be saved. And even the crew of the aircraft in aircraft crashes are often lucky.
It is known that such incidents can never be an accident. When there is an air crash, the fault of all the set of certain factors. Nevertheless, aircraft are always considered one of the safest types of transport. And the statistics every year confirms this. But the most surprising thing is that often people are much more afraid to fly on airplanes than to ride motorcycles.
1
Train
Trains, according to the statistics of 2015 are considered the safest transport in the world and were on the first place of our list. This is especially true for American and European trains, only 0.2 deaths account for 1.5 billion km.on the share of trains. If to take only the Russian Federation, on ж / д transport the death rate makes 0,7 on 1,5 billion in km., That too is not so much.
