As SLF and an ex-Met Man, I am totally convinced that flying an aeroplane is more difficult than driving a car. My two pennorth for what it is worth.
When I was given informal advice on advanced driving and defensive driving by an army professional, he said his mantra as he stepped into a car was "I am going to make this the best drive of my life". I try to remember to do this, and it does help to avoid the "how did I get from home to here?" that can occur after a routine brain-dead uneventful drive.
With the best will in the world, drivers and aircrew will make mistakes: **** happens.
But to add to the risk-load by mucking about with a camera in either mode of transport is grossly unprofessional, and to attempt to shed some responsibility is grossly dishonest in my opinion.
