Very much in my area of interest, only applied to motorcycles. The author redefines for himself "safe flying" from not having any incidents to not making any mistakes that could lead to an incident. And indeed I know plenty of people on motorcycles who make plenty of mistakes but haven't been in accident yet so they think they ride good. I personally take it down to 50% every time I make even the smallest of errors, even if it would be unidentifiable to someone observing. I believe this gets you a nice safety bonus. At least you don't continue to shrink that error margin by telling yourself "so far so good". But you're still nowhere in the clear. Not making any mistakes is not humanly possible. And chance plays a role in dangerous sports no matter your skill or safety consciousness. So in the end you can only accept the risk or not. Bonus related joke: A man slips and falls off a tall building. As he passes every floor he tells himself "so far so good".
