I've had a great idea ...

.... From now on I think I'll just do my own thing - and let other do the
same. No doubt they'll keep doing dumb things, but with a bit of luck
they'll slowly remove themselves from the gene pool.

Somehow I think the reason many people take so many risks in aviation isn't
so much to do with a deep mathematical analysis of the situation as "I'll
never happen to me and I'd be able to handle it if it did (which it won't
because it'll never happen to me). A combination of denial & invincibility.

Thanks for the debate all.
