IMC at night
Its my perception that it has the potential to be quite dangerous...but that hasn't stopped me flying at night single engined.

I'm probably much more likely to have a smash in a taildragger trying to exit some field than have an engine failure in the night and ending up looking for a dark spot.

Driving to the airfield
I stand to be corrected on this one but actually in the case of GA flying is more dangerous than driving. On average someone dies in a GA accident in the US everyday!
