You can do a thought experiment: Let's say airplanes failed at 100X of current rates but it was relatively still less number of deaths if people drove that distance by themselves. Would you be able to argue airplane failure rate was still acceptable? For drones, I bet there would be an immediate movement for banning the whole thing if there was a single drone ever fell on playing kindergartners randomly. This is one situation where just bringing data and making rational arguments don't work.
