Tell that to the hundreds of dead pilots that read the POH and it said "not approved for ice" only to find out they accidently picked up a 1/4 inch and panicked and died.
How many people do you know that crashed because a door wasn't closed all the way?
Fear comes from the unknown and fear breeds panic, if you seen it before in controlled conditions it's just another day at the office, you keep your cool and save the day instead of, "oh my god!. Ice, were all going to die"!
Knowing exactly what your plane will do with ice on it isn't in any POH. Without going into neurophysiology and how it relates to human behavior, suffice to say there is no substitute for experience.
What makes you think you won't end up a lawn dart?
Everyone that flys, regardless of hrs, has that risk.
I now have the experience, you apparently don't, who then is the safer pilot?
Let me give you a lesson on dealing with emergencies in general so you dont have to risk your life practicing them. The ADM (aeronautical decision making) process is a systematic approach to the mental process used by aircraft pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.Fear comes from the unknown and fear breeds panic
But I minimize my risk by not putting myself in unnecesarry danger "for some experience" and that my friend is why you will end up a lawn dart.What makes you think you won't end up a lawn dart?

You can add these as quotes because I thought they were pretty good.JAFI said:Enough beating that dead horse. Like Turbo, a dead horse is past learning. How about some quotes from people who were, at least, smarter than I on the current topic....

In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks.

Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular.

Maybe this quote sums it all up:
