I do tend to agree actually..
With Everest, there is a huge amount of risk management. Same with Parachuting.
With this maybe slightly less. That being said, if I found out the CEO was going to be piloting it, I'd assume it's safe. However, then again, there was the Rob Hall and Everest Incident too (but I feel like that was less preventable on Rob's side)
