The F16 in the video was close to clipping heads with it's wheels and whilst exhilarating for the people underneath a metre or two less and it would've been a pretty sizeable loss of life.
Agreed. But so what?

We all take risks in everyday life and, consciously or unconsciously, we weigh up the possible consequences against the probability that they will actually happen.

Personally I'd say that counting on a NATO fast jet pilot's ability to land without hitting the boundary fence was a pretty safe bet ...
