It depends on how far you're driving, but this is likely the case.

Humans are notoriously bad at assessing risk. I can't remember a single fatal commercial aircraft accident in the US since Kobe Bryant's copter crashed. Dozens or hundreds of people have undoubtedly died driving to and from airports for their commercial flights since then. I do however recall the very weird death the occurred near me on a plane that was making sky diving runs. As I recall, they had already done a couple of flights that day taking up skydivers and were heading back for another flight. The co-pilot was in control and made a very hard touchdown so the pilot took over and aborted the landing. Apparently, the co-pilot was so upset about the incident that he unbuckled, opened the aft ramp door and jumped out of the plane without a parachute. Not a skydiving death per se, but a weird incident no less.

Several hundred times, I should think. I'd also think the flight up to the jump point is quite a bit more likely to kill you.

Depends if you are on the phone while driving drunk or not.
