It is quite distressing that this type of accident still occurs.

Most current designs either feature Centre-line thrust or have
generous horizontal stabilisers fitted.

Either of these options,(or both) seem to be very effective
in avoidance of PIO/PPO.

I fitted such a stab to my machine recently and was surprised
at how much pitch stability improved.
