Ummm, no. Just because you do them, doesn't make them any less risky.
So training (and experience) isn't a risk mitigator?

No, it's not!
  • One takes place on a public road, one takes place in restricted airspace.
  • One involves relatively inexperienced drivers, with little/no training. One involves highly trained and very very experienced pilots.
  • One is involves the illegal and irresponsible use of a motor vehicle which is not designed for the tasks it is employed in. One involves the controlled use of a high performance aircraft, specifically designed for the task which it is employed in.
  • One has no safety controls, regulation or risk management. One has safety controls, regulation & risk management.
  • One is pointless. One is a competition for points and reward.
