If I understand this correctly
Odds of being killed sometime in the next year in any sort of transportation accident: 77 to 1
Odds of being killed in any sort of non-transportation accident: 69 to 1 (from
http://www.funny2.com/odds.htm)
Then a person's odds of dying such that there is a greater than 2% chance of dying for any reason, and that fully 1.3% of all americans die in transportation 'accidents' yearly - which is about 3.9 million americans, which happens to be about 100X bigger than the DOT stats for motor vehicle deaths. I guess there are about 100x more people dying in america from ferry accidents and train derailments than in car accidents!
