Good Lord.....

Hey, take a kid scuba diving for a day in our dive boat. Why check
anything out??

Take a kid skydiving for a day, free, no questions asked.

Those are unreasonable analogies, since the kid needs to be competently
trained to go scuba diving or skydiving. No professional training is needed
to be a passenger in an airplane.

Letting your kid get in a plane flown by your friend or neighbor or
colleague is admittedly more dangerous (per hour of activity) than letting
your kid get in a car driven by your friend or neighbor or colleague, but
not by an outrageous amount. There's no sound principle I'm aware of that
says that anything more dangerous than driving is unreasonably risky.
