If you can think of any other spectator sport to compare it to you should post it.

Like Red Bull? That was shut down for safety reasons (prior to any deaths). What else is there?

Yes, the Red Bull series that was stopped before anyone was killed.

How does Reno's record of 2 pilot deaths for every 5 events compare to those 2 race series?

Well thats false it wasnt stopped for that reason and it hopefully will be back.

They are far more comparable than F1

This is from the Red Bull website:

The organization will use this opportunity to fast track the technological advancements currently in the making which would further improve the already high levels of safety.
I suppose they could be lying about why they shut it down.

In any case, you didn't answer the question. How does Reno's record of 2 pilot deaths per 5 events compare to the other aircraft race series? Considering that Red Bull hasn't had a fatality yet, I'm guessing that Reno doesn't look very good in comparison
