Aside from that, if the State provides healthcare, why should the taxpayer put right the broken bones etc from sporting accidents..? Should those who participate in dangerous sports not, at least, be required to self-insure for their healthcare?
Dangerous, dangerous. Fatties should insure because they are fat, smokers because they spoke, drinkers becasue they drink, people born with diabetes because they were unlucky. It is a very dangerous line of argument.

Where in the PPL syllabus is the student taught about 'explaining that the risks in the flight for your passengers are way beyond what they would otherwise find acceptable'?
On what do you base that grand sounding statement? How many passengers that are not also pilots and/or are not aware of the risks get killed at the hands of PPLs in the UK each year?
