"We" think they are exempt from natural laws and like with the first flying machines, built without really understanding the laws of physics, test them by jumping of a cliff.
"We" believe they are flying just because they are not in free fall and are convinced they could rise above the clouds if they could just pedal a bit harder :)
As long as "We" realize the problem is in the machine in time, we actually might not crash :D
