Gengis .. Thanks for your answer.
I realise it's a very hypothetical scenario. Your answer however is exactly why I'm asking the question.
I think you are almost saying that you would be OK with a beach landing if the risk of hitting someone is very small because you will trust your own skill.
Based on your advice of only having the right to risk your own life, should ditching in deeper water not always be the default regardless of your skill level to ensure that the risk to others is zero?
