I am a GA pilot. I also do sim-based training rather than going out and doing risky in-airplane training in order to be safer. (There are some things that we do in airplane because it’s the most effective way available, but most of the really risky items we also do only in the sim.)

I confined my upthread answer to airline pilots because that’s what’s familiar and relevant to most readers and seems most directly relevant to risk-reduction for passengers/non-participants. (We don’t do risky training exercises with pax on board either.)
