The twistgrip stuff and the continued debate about Robinson NR decay is really extraneous to the real cause of the accident - inadvertant IMC! How many pilots will continue to push on with deteriorating weather, sitting as high as they can to keep away from the ground and, as a result, scudding along at the cloudbase where they have few options when the windscreen suddenly goes grey. Don't do it, it's a killer.
