Since we are on the topic of meatbombing, you think taking out the passenger yoke would be safe....flying a C172 for a tandem outfit this punter as he was heaved out the door by the tandem master decided that he would grab anything right hand goes against the door frame and left hand grabs MY yoke and pulls like the almighty - just about ripped the wings off pulling about 90g upwards. Had to punch his hand about 5 times before he let go and then I was able to push forward, roll right and jam in right rudder and they were gone out the door!! Aircraft had to get checked when I got back down...
