That risk is low...if an RJ was doing a non-precision approach into an uncontrollable field in night IMC, low altitude icing, had a fire and/or engine failure and the 8-cheeseburger-a-day lifer regional CA suffered cardiac arrest from the stress, then you would be in the deep kimchee. I guess a low-timer with less 100 hours in type would ball it up in that kind of situation.
