Beyond, CaN and Ixion I couldn't agree more with your comments however I only have one small issue.

I just can't accept accidents being a freak, except perhaps lying in bed and you get struck by lightning on a sunny day or similar. There is a number of reasons for any accident and some of them very human, human errors associated with attitude and behaviour. A lot of aviation research goes into preventing smoking holes in the ground and the basic concepts can relate to any sort of incident or accident.
Ponder this:

Here are also a few things that Aviation has identified in aircrews that have led to accidents. Though I don't wish to hang any of these on recent events but rather to educate on what is often the norm here...
Hazardous Attitudes
1. Antiauthority ("Don't tell me!") - Don't like anyone telling him/her what to do. Resentful of rules & regulations.
2. Impulsivity ("Do something - do it now!") - Need to do something, anything, quickly. Don't stop to think about better alternatives.
3. Invulnerability ("It won't happen to me.") - Accidents happen to other people, not to me. Therefore, I can take chances.
4. Macho ("I can do it.") - Always trying to prove themselves better than others. Take risks and try to impress others. Yes, women, too!
5. Resignation ("What's the use?") - I really can't make a difference. It's going to happen anyway, why bother? Leave actions to others.
I certainly don't want to see our past time regulated any more and definitely not this site. I am a firm believer that "education over legislation" is the answer. Something that this site does very well on a daily basis.
If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!
