Lives would also be lost in the ensuing confusion if US were to switch to the metric system.

Indeed. It's only due to the skill of the pilots that lives weren't lost during the Gimli Glider incident.

Only partially. Part of it was pure luck, that no one was on the track at that moment when the plane landed on it. There were people at the track at the time, doing races, but the plane just happened to come down at the right time.
