In actuality many of the roads around the Dragon have a worse fatality rate than the Dragon does. The Cherohala Skyway (a beautiful ride, much better than the Dragon in my opinion) is an example.
I was more afraid for my life on some of the back roads getting to the Dragon than the Dragon itself. Going over hill top at a 25 degree incline on a road just wide enough (between the trees right to the edge) to be called "two" lanes to be met with a stop sign just over the crest is not fun.
