How is all the fun stuff automatically dangerous? Many things are "fun" (subjective anyways) and not dangerous at all. Also,I think there is a universe of a difference between riding a bike (dangerous indeed) and standing on the wing of a friggin plane that does stunts for no "reason" at all (please, don't say "entertainment".)
And no, it will never really comfort her family that she died doing what she loved... how cheap is that? Its what you always hear and it is always the same: a lie to make it easier for the relatives... maybe it is OK if it works, but I really doubt it.
A tragic like that really makes me mad...and sad.
