If you chose not to fly, you're in good company. The chances of a crash are low but real. The chances of crashing and surviving are just as real. We've read and discussed several stories where people have crashed and survived, especially in small planes. I prefer to be an optimist and be as prepared as I can be for that outcome. I hate flying. I only do it rarely. Not because I'm afraid of crashing, but because I don't want to get stuck on the ground without the supplies I need to survive and/or be comfortable.

My question is, if you choose to fly, why wouldn't you give yourself the best odds of surviving a crash?
