Grob Driver,

Good job in getting out of it unscathed.

Don't forget, there is often (not always, depending on terrain, etc.) the option of a precautionary landing in a suitable field.

As an ex-glider pilot, I still have the habit of looking at the ground around me in terms of suitable landing sites.

Remembering one a few miles back might save your bacon sometime! Getting down safely when you have still got power, fuel and visibility has to be a good result, even if it's tricky to move the aeroplane afterwards!

Cheers
