Airframe failures may not happen everyday, but they do happen.
Why knowingly increase the chances of it happening? How much of a plonker do you have to be to push 20,000 hour airframe that may have a dubious history.
The basic principles of airmanship dictate that actions like this are stupid. It doesn't matter if only one accident or death could be attributed to overstressing an airframe. It is still too many.
However, I suspect the numbers are a lot higher than just 1.
Stik, you are probably right, but I'll bang on until some sense prevails. I haven't got a lot else to do at the moment since I can't fly!
