The safest pilots are older ones.

I'm gonna halfway agree. Some of us "younger" guns have stick and rudder time, too, while now days you can find older pilots with very little stick and rudder time. As an instructor, I can tell you that I hope I know when it's really time to hang it up. Some people don't know when they should. That said, physical problems can unexpectedly strike younger people, too, and it doesn't "sound" like that is the problem here.
