That’s a lousy comparison. Commuter travel is not the same as adrenaline junkies.
Wing suit drivers have a higher probability of smearing themselves across unfriendly terrain.
It’s marvellous that some make a living from that, but too many people risk their lives to scrub the bodily fluids off the landscape.
The government is more and more determined not to pay for such services but we’re supposed to all chalk it up to shirt happens?
Tell the thrill seekers that if they actually find the thrill they seek, no one will arrive and instead their loved ones can come and pressure wash them off the countryside at their own risk.
Might change the risk assessment or at least, motivate one.
