Interesting
Indeed! I don’t care much for the deaths on offer in offshore sailboat racing, either, much as I love it. Far better to take a big clot to the heart or the lungs, while sitting on the couch. No big accident scene, no traumatized driver, no law suit, no heroic surgery, no SAR assets activated. If that happens, I give everyone permission to say I died doing what I loved.
