I understand what you are saying. But I think we are

the individual pilot. Not the 10's (or even 100's)

Hmm. That's a variant of "guns don't kill people, people
kill people", which is perfectly true but (IMHO) insufficient.
(And I'm not going to reply to any comments that mention
guns; I'm not going down that tangential rathole!)

BTW, please don't think that I'm after a risk-free life,
but I don't like the possibility that someone else
endangers my life. In that vein, sure, the spectators
standing there were knowingly putting themselves
in harm's way; that doesn't bother me too much
since it is their choice.
I am more concerned about random third parties
(walkers, farmers etc) that might get caught up
unwittingly.

Its interesting to read the range of views when we
are all here to enjoy the same thing!

Yes, though some of the more extreme views (and
the extreme way in which they are expressed) looks
bad. Very bad.
