Morbid question, but are airline accidents always fatal? Where are the stats for non-fatal accidents? For example, there are two schools of thought with regards to paying for a seat for your under-two child and strapping him in the car seat. One school of thought: a car seat is not going to help if the plane goes down. Other school of thought: there could be a turbulence accident, a taxiing accident, or another kind of accident where the car seat would save your child's life. But what are the stats about this?

To try to bring this a bit back on topic, I have also heard this as reasoning for why your ereader should be put away: it could be a projectile in... some kind of situation. Setting aside the fact that a pbook weighs the same or more than an ereader, what are the statistics on "projectile accidents" on a plane?
