I hate to say this, but all that respect and pre-flight attention is
just not a guarantee that you won't be hurt. There are unfortunately
many ways to get hurt in an airplane, some foreseeable, some
preventable, and some neither. I don't want to scare you by dreaming
up scenario after scenario, but rest assured that they exist.
