Sounds like people have lots of ways to manage risk, which is essentially what a lot of life is about.
I personally quite like the stoic's Memento Mori - "remember death" - But only so you remember to live. Death could take you at any time perhaps just crossing the street so don't live in fear or prejudge the situation.
Along similar lines (hope I am remembering this right, I am not Hindu or religious, also hope that it doesn't contradict the mod rules) In the Bhagavad-Gita, Arjuna is worried about going into battle and slaying people he previously considered friends. Krishna says "Don't worry, they all belong to me anyway". It is just a matter of time for all of us.
It's not about being carefree about mortality. But just continue to manage the risks, eat healthy (no chance with me!) and don't let fear rule.
Stay safe flying,
Martin.
