Disregard statistics

Statistics are good if you're in a position where you have to manage a population or a fleet. But for your personal decisions, it's not worth a thing, because you can die only once. If you have a very "exotic" and unlikely accident, you'll become 0.000001% of the statistic... but you'll be 100% dead anyway.

This is sadly true, but this is also why extremely experienced pilots sometimes die in perfectly fit planes. I'm not saying you don't have to do your best to stay alive, but sometimes it's simply time...

Sorry not being a happy poster today.
