Actually it's an extra 25 million chances of not dying.
But the statement about commercial air travel being incredibly safe is true. Things are regulated, no carrier wants to risk a crash or sever incident and accountability is high.

As for safety, commercial air travel is so incredibly safe that any variation is just noise - the difference between having a 1 in 100 million risk of dying and a 1 in 125 million risk is essentially zero.
