[...]When they get into trouble, some poor SOB from a rescue agency has to rappel headfirst down to a rolling deck in pitch darkness to save them.

Perhaps. Most of the PJ’s and pilots I flew with were pretty calm. If they ever got into trouble, they could usually get themselves out without calling for help.

Nope. Not at all. They don’t take unnecessary risks nor do it for the high. Those types usually don’t make it through the training.
