On the other hand, if I really was risking my own and other's lives by
flying without a safety pilot, then maybe it's not worth it. How would my
family and friends (or my dog!) suffer from an accident? How would my
survivors' future lives suffer if a lawsuit took away my estate? I would
need to weigh the risks and benefits carefully.

Did they ever fix the Catch 22 on the light sport pilot that you can't
qualify with a drivers license if you've ever failed a regular flight
physical?

At that point though you really have to ask yourself why you should
care. So you putt around in your light sport. If at some point the FAA
finds out that you were once denied a medical you say sorry and put
your money into a bigger boat. I've never heard of a case in which the
FAA has actually given a pilot a prison sentence. As a pilot, CFI, and
aircraft owner I follow FAA regs to the letter. I do it because I have
a lot to lose. But if I were an old guy with a denied medical I would
no longer have anythnig to lose, so I'd say "screw 'em".
