Bad example since you're implying that they're continuing to stand in front of the person who punched them. It's not like Dutch flights are going to continue to fly over that part of Ukraine.

Better example, someone at a concert gets hit with a bottle someone else threw. It was the only bottle thrown at that concert or any other concert they've ever been to. They've know that it does happen though very rarely. They look at you and say "I'm not going to do anything major, the chances of that happening again are slim." You suspect they won't return to that same venue however. Would you be impressed or would you think they're a little crazy?

Personally, I'd be impressed.
