Well to answer the question you posed after the long car crash story,
"No".
There are risks, and there are stupid risks. Putting a kid into an
unknown plane with a stranger goes down as stupid in my book.

What about an unknown school bus driven by a stranger? The safety of both
the plane and the bus--as well as the skill of the pilot or driver--is
vetted by the government. Quantitatively, the plane is more dangerous than
the bus, but not by so large a factor as to be patently unreasonable.

Then there are the traveling carnival rides. They spend what.....$3 or $4 a
year maintaining them whether they need it or not.
