no offence to your friend, but dying doesnt scare me all that much. The fall would, thats for sure, but id prolly accept it and try and fly.
(make sure you know im not disrespecting anyone by this, its just something i want to do and a tragic death wont stop me)
I mean, a jumbo went missing 2 days ago (or airbus A380 or something) but that wont stop anyone flying....
And sorry 4 ur loss Mr Ringo
