By the way, do you worry that the outboard steering tyre might blow while cornering in the wet on a road doing 80+ in your car. From the way 90% of people drive it's obvious they would not care until it happens, you have less control of your future than a single engine plane with an engine failure over tiger country.

What if you don't look both ways before driving through a green, and an intoxicated driver in a truck cleans you up. There are far greater threats to your existence than engine failure, and following an engine failure in a single engine aircraft you have time and training to deal with it. You also have the training telling you to fly over terrain that suits landings if need be, so all things considered it should be a fairly easy task if you are keeping up with the game.
