Dude, we are human beings. We like getting into dangerous situations.
Now, if you don't mind, I'll go back to the vault and continue research on a highly-dangerous, highly-unstable marmalade compound.

Everything is dangerous. The FAA probably allowed this either because someone handed them a large bag of money, or because they figure that the pilots know its dangerouse and are prepared to take that chance.

That's dangerous enough. Where do I sign up?
Do we get to train first in JATO-equipped Ercoupes?
