Totally agree, but in any case I would rather stack the odds and say, if his training fails him, or if ultimately there's a situation that is completely unexpected and predicated on someone else being negligent with his/her driving (drunk driver for example), then I'd want to make sure he was protected the best he can.

1997-01 F150 Crash test VS 2017 F30 is a good example of why a 23 year old truck isn't going to be better in the event of a crash compared to something more modern we're familiar with. The results are pretty eye-opening:
