Does anybody else smell a rat?

"It wasn't my incompetent, ham-fisted flying that stalled the aircraft during the approach. My seat-runner simply must have failed, causing the seat to slide backwards, thereby contravening Newton's Law of Gravity. Can I have my cheque now, please".

Bollocks.

Cessna seat runners tend to fail during departure, as I can attest. I got away with it. Many other's haven't. Something should indeed be done to address this potentially fatal flaw. However, this sort of ambulance chasing makes me sodding sick.

Other than that, I don't really have any strong opinions on the matter.
