The video mentions the article. I wonder if the video host Tom's intro slide makes another interesting point - survivor bias. Statistically someone will make it through decades of bad decisions unscathed, and with generous self-appraisal will call it good decision making, when it actual fact they were just of the lucky. (survivor bias - shouldn't look at extremely successful companies for inspiration)

I'll watch the rest of the video, but wanted to thank you for sharing it, and sharing your perspective. I am by no means risk averse, and long to fly one day, but after a few years of one dangerous sport, and considering joining friends in paragliding, I looked into the safety aspect and it seemed too risky (coming from one deadly sport, I felt like I needed a break, not another)
