I fly from a service club and people turn up in whatever they feel comfortable in. I've never seen anyone fly in a nomex unless they were just off duty and were wearing it for their day job.
Some people will drive at 60 mph in foggy conditions where I think 40 mph is appropriate but then my 40 mph may seem fast to someone doing 30.
There are other risk management issues that I take more seriously. I would never fly from an airfield/runway where there wasn't an 'out' if the fan stopped; I also like at least 3,000' between me and the ground if possible. Perhaps nomex wearers would be happy flying around at 500'. That's an unacceptable risk to me.
