Self Regulation Doesn't Work and in Aviation It Kills!
This always makes me chuckle... As an overused and alarmist strap line, it just doesn’t work for me. Why? Because there are literally thousands of self-regulated aircraft flying in the world right now in civil hands and they aren’t killing people any faster than any other?
You would be far better to quote “
Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.”
