Where exactly do you imagine you can do a "feasible retreat" ?

It doesn't matter. The criterion of immediate fear or death or
bodily harm is
not satisfied.

I don't know about you, but being strapped into a metal tube that can
crash and burn, and over which you have ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROl, is not
exactly free of the fear of immediate death and or bodily harm by any
count
Why do you think that white-knuckle syndrome os so prevalent during
takeoffs and landings ?

:-)

Not reasonable in the legal sense, though; the actual odds of crashing
and burning are trivial.

I've heard other people talk about this "no control" issue, but I just
fail to get it. I don't *want* to be in control of the airplane; I'm
not the trained pilot.
