cloudcutter..is this an English tutorial or a debate.

"Gear up landings are not unheard of. When managed properly, and without other complicating factors, they are not usually that dangerous (based on results)"

Now we have statistics and other complicating factors and even if you don't like to admit it, luck.

However,when it comes to injuries these are all meaningless.If you are injured you need fast and available medical attention not a risk analysis.

If ego's are taken out of the equation then accidents will be minimised. However, when you have people telling us that it all went swimmingly AFTER the event and telling doctors to buzz off it appears those ego's are still in play.
