What an interesting story. Did anyone here ever meet him?
Someday I'll tell the story of how one of his unwelcome SEO explorations led to us setting a creative snare. But that story will keep for a few more years.

Martin and I crossed paths a few times, at first jousting and later as friends. He was truly a character. Someday I'll tell the story of how one of his unwelcome SEO explorations led to us setting a creative snare. But that story will keep for a few more years.

Makes me wonder how many other people there are like this living incredible lives fit for a movie. And here I am staring at excel.

I've tried to do this myself, and found it's pretty difficult task. When you remove really stupid mistakes pilots make (and we'd never do any of those things... we're not THOSE pilots... right?!) it starts to look a lot safer.
Driving is also probably substantially safer if you don't make stupid mistakes. Of course, you're also more at the mercy of others making stupid mistakes.
It is comforting to know that if you are religious about your preflight checks and your planning, and never fly in weather you aren't comfortable with, your odds of survival are greatly increased. How much is hard to tell, but making a hobby of reading NTSB reports shows you that the unavoidables - like wings randomly falling off - are pretty rare. Stupidity rules the day in aviation accidents.
