Fewer brewskis for some, more for others. Not using the device is not an option.

Biggest one is that when your airplane stops working it falls. Falling won't hurt you, but the sudden stop will. snicker.
A 245 pound aircraft driver is a big lad. Not likely to fit in the driver's seat.

A different sort of aviation peril was on the front page of today's Sun Sentinel, a local paper here in Delray Beach Florida. A small plane that is used to pull advertising banners behind it and normally flies back and forth in the Fort Lauderdale beach area went of course and hit the 12th floor of a condo apartment. The plane chopped a hole in the wall and then fell onto the pool area below. the pilot was killed but nobody else was hurt. There were people in the apartment at the time.
