Ron,
This is just a special case of "is what you are
planning to do next a good idea and if so have you adequately prepared for it?"
Applies not only to aviation.
Yes, I have a longish list of people I knew in
aviation who aren't with us any longer because they died in aircraft.

Normally i would think that it is overkill but perhaps not.Â
Look flying will kill you along with a lot of
things, complacency has no place in the game,
how many of our friends are dead??

Wondering if it's a case of poor/overwhelmed ATC
at certain airfields, or airport design, or
pilots being too busy/under pressure and making mistakes, or....?
And of course over-runs happen with gliders too
- with sometime tragic consequences....
Thanks & Regards,
