In Canada the rules are pretty much iron clad. You can't accept a piece of gum for so much as saying the word, "Airplane". This might be an exaggeration but not by much. If I have a private plane and am flying it around the rules are about what you would expect or maybe even less. But once you cross that magical threshold of taking money for flying all kinds of insurance, regulations, plane requirements, and changes in maintenance requirements.
While I am speaking about Canada, I suspect that the rules for most western countries aren't going to be that different. Basically you will have trouble finding a more regulated industry than the aviation industry, and where these regulations might have gaps the insurance companies will be standing right there.
These guys might be on a sounder footing if they were to start selling a DIY brain surgery kits.
