Yes, Burt Rutan.   He gave up.   >:(

Don't even think about it any more; your life must be worth something
to someone (like you).

You brought back a memory of my witnessing Burt in the pattern @Whiteman airport (I believe) back in 70-something. I'm pretty sure it was the VW varieze, and the throttle cable had malfunctioned leaving the engine running WOT. He blipped the ignition on and off and made a WWI fighter approach! Since then, I have never failed to inspect the throttle spring!
