I agree the sentiment.
I like my flying hobby - there is some risk to be mitigated - but the risk is part of the attraction.
Not too sure about the rest of you but generally I have a mundane and very safe life - hobbies are something I do for variety.
So I open water scuba dive and I fly my plane (not in that order!) - there is risk, but given my otherwise safe life why ever would I want hobbies with no risk of death while doing them?
That said, rumour has it that more people die each year playing golf and course fishing - of course there are more participants. Next time someone dies doing one of those I hope to see questions in parliament and a push to see them banned:)
