OceanGate's CEO Stockton Rush famously said in 2022:
> You know, at some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed, don't get in your car, don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.
The level of hubris is spine-chilling. There's taking measured risks, and then there's baiting jeopardy.
