These testosterone-enhanced novice drivers out there go on to kill themselves on the highway, like the guy who won the Darwin award a few years back for putting the rocket booster on his car. I don't know about you, I say he was responsible for himself. Suffice to say, I differ on this view of responsibility. I think my position on it will keep me alive alot longer than if I adopted your view. If I buy the farm on a dive (or in a dive class) it will be my fault and my fault alone, at which time I foresee, some people on this list will then aggree with me!
