This person had an airport under him and for some reason he "blew it".
So what is he going to do over some wild countryside. Looks like we
now have to figure out how to disallow low "saves".

The rules do have an incentive for avoiding these: the airport bonus and
aerotow retrives. It's hard to estimate how many accidents these rules
have prevented, but I think it helps.
