won't insurance cover the plane after you pull the handle ??

just playing devil's advocate here, making the analogy with cars and safety systems there...

the latte drinking , makeup splashing phoning modern driver couldn't care less about the write off of the car , as long as she believes that the 9 airbags will allow herself to exit the vehicle without a scratch...hence the expensive insurance premium you probably pay for your cars...
