    There’s something inherently dangerous about rare, exclusive experiences. When millions of people do something, like fly commercial, you know it’s going to be pretty safe. When you find yourself going for an experience that only 6 people have ever had, ever, your danger warnings should be going off.

      Indeed their warning signals were going off; they just chose to ignore them. The true reasons we will never know. Perhaps proof of concept; to defy the authority of regulatory bodies, the thrill of knowing the danger, understanding the world would be watching, or something other going on in their life. They had to means to do basically anything they wanted with their money. They chose to go into a tube and descend to the abyss.

      And you get astronauts who spend years embedded with the development of their rocket or capsule. You can doing something that no one else has done before but you want to do your homework.
