    It’s similar to people who end themselves by stepping in front of a truck or a train. It can be extremely traumatic to the driver.

      I disagree. Leaving someone with trauma, versus leaving someone in a life or death situation is quite different I’d say.

            According to other people in this thread, she had at least enough flight experience that she should be able to land solo. So, the risk to her was from the trauma he inflicted, if it impeded her ability to land safely. Explaining it here actually makes it seem even more similar to the truck driver. It’s entirely possible that if you hit a person with a truck, you’d freeze up or your mind would blank or you’d otherwise be unable to control yourself well and cause further accidents before you could stop safely.

      It can be extremely traumatic to the guy stepping in front of the vehicle as well!
