The investigators who'll have to try to write up this idiocy without upsetting his relatives? The Procurator Fiscal and Sherriff and others in the coronial process (perhaps)? The cost to society generated by all the above and the premature death of a financially successful person? The effect on his family and loved ones of his premature departure?

all the same arguments used to get motorcyclists to wear a helmet.
would you wear a helmet whilst flying?
