Who can justify any deaths?  I'm not ready to start walking
to work because there are over 33k road deaths every year.

High energy maneuvers? That is what I am saying. Fly overs
aren't that at all. Aerobatic stunts with 50+ year old birds
(and maybe a few drivers) needs to go - or at least somewhat
regulated.  My vote is to keep on keeping on. Safely.
But I repeat myself.  Cheers sir.
