Sunfish. Good thinking but the problem with this is while we humans will accept lots of deaths in small numbers , say from road deaths, we have problems with larger numbers at once.

In effect a person in a road death may be valued at $4m but we demand something like many times that in aviation. Just results in more total deaths as charter becomes so expensive that more and more are forced on to the roads.
