If I fly as a passenger on a Qantas jumbo, there is a risk that I will die because of the negligence of the pilot or an engineer who’s worked on the aircraft.

If I fly as a passenger on a Pitts Special, there is a risk that I will die because of the negligence of the pilot or an engineer who’s worked on the aircraft.

According to you folks, I “accept” the risk in both cases. Why is it ‘right’ that I am entitled to compensation in the first scenario but not the second?
