Well, I for one was going to stay out of this as you seem overly argumentative about this issue. I do not think anyone is minimizing an accident, but to think that we already do not have hobbies that put others lives at risk, is well, putting blinders on.
Ok based on this, no more private planes, to much risk unless you are commercially trained, right? Heck I do not want this falling on my head.
Private air travel is far less safe than commercial flights, as highlighted by a recent string of high-profile private plane crashes.

The number of people killed in plane crashes in the U.S. increased by about 13% in 2018, according to data released by the National Transportation Safety Board.

The F.A.A. should require all general aviation pilots to carry liability insurance, which would force them to have better training.

So this is a hobby for many, and they are killing people and it is regulated as heck.
Now, if you like I can do more homework and we can talk about balloons, race cars, sports cars, and should I mention guns?
