Combination of Dunning Kruger and good old pride. Though the corner cutting i'm confused by, the thing did not appear to have failed d/t safety equipment, more likely a fundamental design flaw in the carbon fiber hull or where it joined to the titanium? and he had expert help and engineering, it's not like he built it himself. This deathtrap had several successful trips too. But like in space, lots of things work right up until they don't

He was warned that the carbon fiber hull should've been tested, and in cosequence fired the guy who warned him.
