February 2014 Bonanza crash during takeoff from Telluride killed two United Captains. Departed rw 27 in light snow and only made it about half mile before crashing into a cliff.

But just like motorcycles, there's a wide spectrum within GA and it has a LOT to do with what kind of bike you ride, what kind of riding you do and who you do it with.
Sunday morning cruise with the old lady up a deserted coast road on a harley =/= lane splitting in rush hour traffic on I-5 =/= alcohol soaked downtown street racing at 0300 on Saturday on a CBR.
