People who fly jets are a different breed.
My dad witnessed the snowbirds crash at an airshow over lake Ontario.
They give boats a cordon that they are supposed to stay out of, but enforcement had become lax, so people would bring their boats in close for a better view.
When the crash happened one of the pilots, whose plane was damaged beyond control, flew it straight into the lake instead of ejecting to avoid hitting the boats.
