Basically, your friends and community are probably daredevils or people prone to being on the verge of crashing and burning.
A plane in a nosedive is in a pretty perilous condition. Tense, high adrenaline, not necessarily guaranteed to be deadly but highly possible. It also used to be a method of attack when biplanes were warfighting machines, as in WW1. A plane would dive right at a target, the speed and screaming sound of the plane divebombing was terrifying in addition to the gunfire. Think about the energy of that.
