Yep and my mate who smokes 40 fags a day reckons he will never get cancer. My best friend who was killed on his motorbyke when he pulled out into oncoming traffic also reckoned it would not happen to him.
But life is about risk regardless of what the nanny state will try and do. While I sympathise with your loss I dont need you to try and convince me or anyone else that your opinion that night flying SE is foolish is the correct one. We all free to make our own choices based on our own risk assessment.
