I wonder if wing suit pilots try to convince themselves that their excellent airmanship skills will keep them alive as contrasted to their careless deceased companions.
Not equivalent risks, I know, but you get the point. Objective data are seldom available for fatal accidents leaving us free to put our own spin on the probable causes. Like many high time racing and cross country pilots , l have lost upwards of 20 friends or acquaintances to glider accidents. I can think of only 2 that I suspected the pilot involved was “ an accident waiting to happen”. One death for every 50,000 hours is an acceptable risk for me. I try to be careful and current but I think I’m mostly lucky. Dale Bush |
