a single engined cessna propeller plane that loses the engine on takeoff = you are fucked..
a330 that loses one engine on takeoff = you are OK..
Besides, these jet airplanes have way more stringent maintenance procedures,plus they are basically built NOT to crash..

well actually you are only somewhat screwed in the single cessna, chances are if you are trained properly, you can get that back back to mother earth without too much injury..
that being said, the accident rate and fatality rate is much higher for general aviation compared to commercial aviation..
it is extremely rare that a commercial pax jet disintegrate in mid air..
