Out enjoying going loopy…. and structural failure? RIP that man.

How many people in Oz have been killed in like kind of situations? Even folk that were good at it… and no parachutes. It’s been happening for decades.Is our esteemed “safety” agency not interested.?

In the US for aeros one must kit up. On aerobatic passenger flights it’s a must. Litigation ensures it.
Kill yr ticket holder… and there goes yr. business.
I can think of 2 events when Tigers lost their wings. No survivors , 4 that had no second chance
A Slimpack is cheap insurance.

In Ingham years ago the Big radial Pitts got into an inverted flat spin …at altitude… No chutes , 2 dead.

I accept it could be a personal choiceAND we certainly don’t need a Semi Trailer load of legal codswallop fr CAsA
Is one prepared to take the risk…..with no second chance when things go wrong.
