What is a big worry

Although the study found an increase in drug use among the pilots that were tested, there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of accidents in which impairment was determined to be a cause or contributing factor to the accident, according to the NTSB. This figure has remained at about 3% of fatal civil aviation accidents and has not made a marked increase since 1990.

Umm, not a big worry really. I think Cambodian minivan/bus drivers are probably more dangerous. Source: myself and everyone else.

Agreed

From above link:

I would have thought this was a worrying statistic... 3% of accidents.. its not like a single car accident, only driver hurt. When a pilot has an accident it is usually a big hunk of metal and burning fuel involved with multiple persons on board and sometimes on the ground.
