I don’t care if the risk is only 1% or less. I don’t care what your qualifications are. There’s no scenario where any amount of risk is worth a payoff that only benefits the military.
Go fly over a fucking field where the only risk is to yourself. This shit is stupid. All it takes is one bad mechanical failure to kill dozens of hundreds of people, and for no reason. But of course pilots are arrogant dicks who think it can never happen to them, as your comments prove. The fact that you care more about showing off says it all.
There isn’t a single thing with 0% risk, that is a stupid standard to have for anything in life from a risk management perspective. If the risk to something is less than the inherent risk of walking down stairs or driving to work then avoiding it just because isn’t being smart, it’s being ignorant. It doesn’t take one bad mechanical failure, there are redundancies. Potential failures are calculated, studies and mitigated. In the early days of airplanes and low level flying it was very risky and there were many accidents; we have learned from them and applied the lessons. No, the risk isn’t 0, but it is well within the tolerance of risks that you take every day.

That mentality would render every single airport in a city useless since planes fly low over populated residential areas all the time.
