I wouldn't take up gambling then if I were you...
OK, pray enlighten me.

Roughly how many fast jet sorties are there, say in a year, across all the NATO nations?

And how many instances of boundary fences/hedges being demolished, or landing in the undershoot, are there in a typical year?

Feel free to use scientific notation in calculating the resulting probablility of this happening for a given landing, to save you having to type all those zeroes after the decimal point.

Then, next time you are landing at your field that's "probably" (that word, again) close to Waddington, nip up the road and explain to the spectators there how one of them is "inevitably" going to get killed.

Let us know how you get on.
