When I was young and bullet proof I as well did a lot of stupid things in aircraft and was lucky enough to survive.
Single night IFR.
Single engine night IFR/VFR over mountainous terrain.
And of course single engine day/night/IFR/VFR over water.
So I have no right to tell people not to do as I did, but there was no way in hell I'd ever do that again after I had about 2,000 hours. The risk was not worth it.
As I am retired now there is no way in hell I'd ride in a single engine aircraft in the conditions as above, turbine or piston.
