I guess we all have opinions here & there's always room for healthy debate. But personally I wouldn't 'temp' fate as such & increase the risks of leaving my family fatherless, but that's just me. I agree with 'Forkie' after a few minutes of that stunt flying it's boring bit like watching race cars go round & round, boring! And as other/shave said here half (most likely more) go to see a crash, sadly.
Whether he (Matt)ought to be doing it? Well only he knows if it's 'worth' it. Got nothing to do with skill, he's the tip of the sword for sure.
I bet we would all be saying something quite different here had Matt been unlucky & bought the farm, the prime word here would be 'condolences'............but it wasn't so............this time!
Sure being older (wowsers) has it's benefits, wisdom like experience comes with age.
