Now you sound like the reporter! Most people that have been riding
(motorcycles) for any length of time don't "think nothing of it" ...
most are well aware of the danger and risk involved.

Furthermore, as has been amply documented in other threads here, the risk of
GA flying is about comparable to the risk of motorcycle riding; motorcycles
are not "far more likely" to get you killed.
