I think that body of pilots is quite large. It has to be, in order to explain
the relatively poor safety statistics of GA. Add poor maintenance to that,
and GA becomes pratically dangerous. And it doesn't have to be.

The odds are that this guy will get away with this
multiple times before he gets bit. Of course there's also a small chance
that he may never get bit hard enough to scare or kill himself.

Hopefully he will remove himself from the gene pool before producing another
pilot.
