I am not crossing the line about that.

"Flying is not dangerous, as long as you remember its dangerous"

 

PS: I got that from a yachting forum, but I really identified with the concept.

How do yachties know whether flying is dangerous?

That's a bit like sex. I don't get it. Nev

It is the definition of Risk Management.

 

Yachties do a similar risk management to aviators. Keep away from the edges of your transport fluid.

 

Also, they notice all kinds of noisy disturbances. Things like jetskis and flying machines are dangerous and annoying.

A SAILboat doesn't emit STINKY smells like something running on Bunker Oil does. Nev

[facthunter]

Good Pilots take to SAILING like a duck to water.  Nev

[pmccarthy]

Like this one

[facthunter]

Neither a Good Plane OR  a GOOD Boat. Just a never ending Maintenance challenge.  Nev

[pmccarthy]

But it is a Duck, taking to water.

Ah-HA! So the Flat Earthers are in the majority amongst the boaties?! Yeah, I'd hate to fall off the edge of the Earth, so I keep well back from it.

A married couple were asleep when the phone rang at 2 in the morning.
The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the phone, listened a moment and said 'How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!' and hung up.
The husband said, 'Who was that?' The wife said, 'I don't know, some woman wanting to know if the coast is clear.'

The Bottom of the sky is where you have to be careful, IF you are an air person.   7% of Americans believe the Earth is FLAT..Nev

And I try to keep my boat away from the bottom of the ocean, too.

"Bottom of the Harbour" schemes worked brilliantly for a large number of mining scumbags in the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's, until the ATO put a stop to it.
