Flying aerobatics is a dangerous business. My aviation life insurance doesn't cover it.
Can you justify with evidence your rather broad brush statement? Just because the insurer perceives aeros as more dangerous is probably testament to his poor understanding of what is actually involved.
I am sure that CFIT and disorientation through inadvertent entry to IMC kills more pilots each year than a botched loop.
How many were killed in aviation accidents (specifically GA) during the year that Tony speared in - how many of the others that stoofed were involved in aerobatics?
