First thing my CFI told me during the ground portion of my first lesson: "Most regulations are written in blood"
Unfortunately, with rare events, this isn't a very rational way to go around allocating enforcement resources if you want to prevent accidents and save lives.

Far better to gather data and assess relative risks. But I do understand that is unfortunately not how things get done by regulatory bureaucracies.
