bigfella5,
If you read my posts you'd see that I'm all for safety. Safety
and a spirit of adventure are not mutually exclusive.
Firstly, I'VE NEVER DONE AEROBATICS IN A NON AEROBATIC AIRCRAFT.
Secondly, neither you nor anybody else will stop pilots from doing beat ups and the more that you demonise the activity the more attractive it becomes.
I've advocated that pilots plan and think before proceeding, that pilots know everything about the handling characteristics of their aircraft and to thoroughly know their operating environment. This is hardly a cavalier attitude.
If my posts pursuade a pilot to plan and think before proceeding. To think about high terrain/low terrain and escape routes. To think about the many variables and when to trigger an abort. Then better for it.
My posts were not meant to be sanctimonious, but surely you can't really believe that to fly down a level RUNWAY (after considering the above) requires an aerobatic endorsement, a low level rating and (wait for it) an "INSTRUCTOR RATING WITH CONSIDERABLE EXPERIENCE".
