Probably the same planet, indeed the same country, where school trips are being cancelled just because the accident liability is too high.
{edit}I can see both sides of the arguement. I do feel that, as a society, we are less able to judge risk as previous generations. However, looked at from CAA point of view, engine failure is a problem that can be addressed and, from a precautionary point of view, if 20% of the aircraft will be affected then maybe there's something wrong with the way GA is run in Britain.
The arguements on both sides will run and run.
