If you intended to write humorous sarcasm, it did not come across as intended. It looks as though you took an arrogant pill before typing. Hi-viz jackets have their place; I always wear one on the ramp. Lots of trucks and baggage carts out to get you. Not many run over by aircraft. Although seems more common for people to walk/drive into the aircraft. (Paint all a/c Day-Glo!).
On my grass airfield their worth is greatly over valued. If the CAA stated all pilots to wear bone domes I would take the edict more seriously. Just look at how many pilots have died through head injuries. Perhaps the empasis is not placed in the correct direction. Even though I wear a bone dome myself (Yak 52/Chippy), it is personal choice. The decision to wear should be left to the idividuals own risk assesment.
