if there is a slight risk, it is one I am prepared to accept.
I agree with you. The severity of the risk is very high, but the probability is very low. Thus we make our decisions in this respect and the vast majority of us never experience a middair.
The more likely middair, IMHO, is between two airliners, in IMC, in the London TMA.
Just a matter of time, due to the very high volumes of fast moving traffic, in a (relatively) small volume of sky.
Thankfully, the incidents to date have al been air proxes.

As ever, well said.
