You mean like all pilots are required by law to observe speed limits whilst driving?

But kidding apart, there will never be a statistics about the life expectancy of pilots. And now, with more and more laws regulating privacy and data protection even less so than before. Simply because the vast majority of pilots do not die whilst still being pilots. After retirement our profession changes to "pensioner" and this is what the doctor will put under "occupation" when filling out our certificate of death. And most probably that doctor will never know what the former profession of his patient has been. At least where I live.
