If you want to shoot dangerous game..

Depends. We always envision the best case scenario and imagine that we will come out of it unscathed with no surprises and nothing bad happening. My uncle ran into a guy out on the trail in Alaska who had just started hunting AGAIN after two years. Why? He had lost his nerve after he took an unrushed shot at an oncoming Grizzly and came down out of recoil, jacked in another shell and looked again through the scope--just as the bear ran by him on his right!!! He didn't think it possible for the bear to cover the amount of ground it did, as quickly as it did. He considered it a potentially fatal error, and it scared the Hell out of him. How many people, out of inexperience or disbelief are going to make a critical error? Then pure luck is the margin, and your life is the gamble. Mother Nature will collect on bad wagers.

Another individual thought it would be the romantic ideal to stop a charging buffalo such that it slid to a dusty stop at his feet. He was immediately chastised severely by those experienced hunters who told him that they had seen buffalo take 17 shots before falling, later found to have pulverized hearts, to boot. Told him that he was on a fool's errand; as Don Heath described, "fools, who will pay with their lives."

We all decide how much margin we need to come out alive. TBH, some folks need more than others, even if they don't recognize it. Sometimes we are wise enough to listen to our PH's take on it.
Sure I want the rush--just without the grave.

The most micro-managed area in the entire sport, why?

Because Human life is more important than <insert literally anything here>.

The entire car is designed around decreasing risk & increasing safety for the driver whilst simultaneously being competitive on the race track.

EDIT: When someone dies in an F1 race after all is done and dusted the engineers immediately reverse engineer the "How" and then re-engineer the "Cause" so that it doesn't fail again or if it does, fails in a 'safer for the driver' way that doesn't lead to injury / loss of life.

EDIT EDIT: You either have a very black & white POV on life or you're being deliberately ignorant.

im not talking about the racing. take 2 ferarris put an avg 25 year old and a F1 driver let them drive wide open on a highway. who is more likely to wreck?
not trying to get into the weeds about the sport of F1 only the skillset of the driver vs a average person. you can cookie cutter that to apply to whatever activity you want.

I do have a very black and white POV. We are all dying cannot escape it. So why worry its going to happen when its supposed to happen.
