No offence taken John.

The CAA are very fond of telling us that the only type with a significant spinning fatality rate is the Pitts. Not because it's unrecoverable, but because people keep spinning it close to the ground in competitions and displays.

Hopefully, if the likes of you and I did our job right, there should never be a need for a parachute in an aircraft cleared for deliberate spinning. But, all the same, it does make one feel that bit more secure...
