I could equally use the analogy of sending your child to a skid pan to teach them to control a skid if they get into one . They will drive their own car , at speed on a very slippery road ( v dangerous and they should NOT do this in real life .....but in case they do you give them the experience ). They do this with an instructor , go out and skid...panic ....do the wrong thing ....and then learn . I do believe you would feel they are a safer driver after experiencing a high speed skid and learning how to correct it ???? It appears to me you think telling them it is against the law to drive fast , especially on wet roads, will do the trick ...... well it hasnt in aviation has it .
You brought up the analogy and i think it is v good . Both the driver AND the pilot NEVER experience these dangers for real in their training .....i imagine you think skid pan training is a useful tool in road safety .?? ( if you havent been trained with a pro you will definitely have practiced skids alone in your youth ...surely )
ps and yes i think the rules need breaking every now and then
