As has been said before its up to the pilot. I think it's a good risk, maybe you don't. We are both right.
Correct and I agree. However, one thing alters the equation completely. And that is when the pilot has taken responsibility for the life of another - especially in any form of commercial arrangement. Now it becomes a matter of compliance with all regulations, and in moments of ambiguity, a professional judgement with the welfare of the passenger(s) paramount.
Pilot DAR - excellent post.
