What do you mean with "don't get too carried away?" Don't get too carried away with what?
Interesting, I already did my medical a while ago (might have to redo it) and I think this wasn't mentioned. This might only apply to commercial pilots.
I was referring to the pilot's license. I know it's challenging and it's many people's dream, but it scares me to know that the slightest mistake can result in death.

Maybe that's the way it is.

the slightest mistake can result in death.
I don't think that's true, you can even get into a spin and recover as long as you don't panic and have enough altitude. It's just a matter of training. I think it can be as safe as driving a car. Maybe even safer since there aren't as many other idiots in the air that can kill you, haha
For example, in this video, you can see all he needs to do is to push the rudder with his feet to recover from the spin, no hands needed:
Also, don't forget that planes can glide. Even helicopters can glide via autorotation.
I have to admit though, that last "push" sounded a little concerned from the CFI though haha
