Ian, that could be said about so many everyday risks that are part of our lives.
Whether it was luck or judgement or a bit of both, offshore radio had a casualty rate much lower than most other, non-government regulated, adventurous activities. If offshore radio risks, along with many other borderline'acceptable' risks, were not taken, life would be so boring and many advances would not have come to pass. Moving forward every day is a challenge. Face it, don't hide from it.
Once in 1980 and again in 1991 idealistic people came really close to losing their lives. As much as I loved offshore radio, its not worth that. Is it? Yet, some will only recognise the "real Caroline" when there are people sitting on a boat risking their lives whilst they sit in their armchairs and criticise.
It's a strange old game.
