Exactly. I can drive around the track at 9/10ths and not crash... but it is the unexpected oil on the track, the mechanical failure, or the slight imperfection in the tire compound that may send me into the barrier. I don't wear safety gear because I suck, I wear it for the unexpected.

How can these people trust the stability of the rock, a rogue muscle spasm in their arm, or a sudden gust of wind? They can control their minds amazingly well, but something unseen and unexpected can kill them in a blink.
