I really do admire you for your adventurous streak and obviously we need people like Lindbergh to push the boundaries. You could say the same of any pioneering adventurer who has sailed the world single handed or climbed Everest.

All us more cautious ones are saying is take every precaution you can to minimise those risks
If you come down on a cross Atlantic Ferry and perish you won't hurt anyone on the ground or sea and will bob around frozen in the Ocean thinking it was my choice, my risk.

There is a risk 99 out of 100 you will be fine but if your ever unlucky enough to hit the 100 flight make sure you have every angle covered so you stand a chance. As for making a risk decision for others who are unknowing? We don't have that right
