You are allowed to say things.
You are assuming responsibility for, i.e. accepting the consequences of, your right to say things.]

If they want to be safe they will. If they have a death wish, I'm not getting on a plane with them. I'm more than happy I've never encountered this sort of behaviour.

Yeah, that mentality will get someone killed. Literally one of the first 3 things to do in any dropzone I've been in is a gear check, and I don't jump without it (duh?). I think it's an extremely reckless thing to suggest.
For every anecdote you have about code reviews finding bugs, I have my own anecdote about people writing code going through a thorough code review process and the code crashes the first time an end user tries to use the functionality.
Sounds like you have bigger problems than code review!
