We seem to allow and to even encourage some dubious behaviours in the name of recreation that we don't allow in our working lives.

It's a "weregild" for the new millennium!
Of course, if you hit a rock and kill only yourself, your estate will only be charged the cost of environmental remediation and your kin will be issued a Darwin Award in your name.

Darwin awards only go to those who don't have children..

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
