The unfortunate death of Jesse Combs brought to mind a quote from Three time land speed record holder Art Arfons after he aborted a come back attempt to break his old record, I think he was in his 70s and couldn't complete the run.
To paraphrase what he said was: "When I was young and had my whole life ahead of me I thought nothing of risking my life, now that I'm old with not much life ahead of me I realize how precious life is"
