Deadly Express
Here is a recent series from the Miami Herald regarding accident rates among cargo operators. .
Here is an accompanying audio segment which aired on NPR.
Unfortunately, the NPR piece doesn't make clear the distinction between Part 135 and Part 121 rules. Nor does it ever discuss the similarities of 121 passenger and cargo operations.
Don't shoot the messenger.

Google "top ten dangerous professions". It is a list from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Compare truckers to pilots. If I remember correctly, pilots are 3rd or 4th in the most dangerous, while truckers come in near number 8.

1. Logging (tie)
Logging maintained its position as the most dangerous job in the United States again last year, tying aircraft pilots with 92.4 deaths for every 100,000 workers.

9. Truck driving
Falling asleep at the wheel and slick weather conditions are just two elements truck drivers face when they climb into their rigs.

insurance
Check out Pilot Insurance Center www.piclife.com. They had the best price for a 20 year term life policy I could find. They cover ALL types of flying including experimental aircraft. Watch out for the name brand insurance policies. They charge a premium for pilots and DO NOT cover you unless you operate under part 121. So if you happen to crash while operating a ferry flight under part 91 rules (airlines do it all the time) you aren't covered.
