even removing the dual controls would not have prevented this?
True. Maybe a short passenger briefing before the flight could have helped prevent what we saw in the video. Who knows?
All I know is, I always do a quick passenger briefing with all my passengers, once the dual controls have been removed. Sure, it isn't a 100% guarantee either, but if the passengers at least are aware of where the crucial controls are and what they should try not to bump into, well then maybe it might just help prevent something like what we saw in the video from re-occurring.
