You can also view it just how the FAA, lawyers, and insurance companies viewed it when sitting down to write the 117 rules.
When you fly, you have a couple hundred life insurance policies on board. When your FDX friend flies, he has two life insurances policies on board...and maybe one or two jumpseaters, whatever they're worth.
