You would be creating a far more dangerous situation if you unnecessarily, willingly and knowingly flew in weather conditions you knew could be potentially dangerous.

Superior pilots use their superior knowledge so that they don't have to use their superior skill. Many, many times I have flown in situations that could be potentially dangerous. However, each and every time the most dangerous part was driving to the airport.....

Pilots and airlines will not risk the live of their passengers by flying through bad weather. Airports will delay or cancel flights due to bad weather until weather conditions improve. Personally I was on one flight where the pilot flew around a violent electrical storm instead of flying through it to ensure the safety of the passengers. The mountain climbers either knew what they were getting themselves into and the risk they posed to others and chose to ignore the facts or failed to consider other people's lives.

As I said in a previous post it is one matter if you choose to risk your own safety so log as you don't risk the lives of others who have no voice in your decision.
