I get your point but this is still the level of risk you are prepared to take.
Pilots will do all manner of things like flying over fog banks or at night where they are in the laps of the Gods if the Donkey goes bang.
I have always tried to fly with an out and over long stretches of rough sea, at night or over fog you have no outs
It then becomes a game of Russian Roulette hoping that flight doesn't hold the bullet even though there are 9999 empty slots in your gun you still have the one which is not empty
If I had a gun which had capacity to hold 1000 bullets and loaded one and gave the gun to you would you put the gun to your head and pull the trigger? There is no difference
