Chance of surviving an inadvertent spin from 2000ft with conventional recovery - say, 50%
Crikey! That may be true for a modern Cessna only trained pilot but god I hope the rest of us can do better. I'd be dead many, many times over.
Scary that the view (might be) pulling the shute is better than actually knowing how to recover from or more importantly avoid altogether (these two go hand in hand by the way) the spin. 'Normal' pilots spin aeroplanes from 2k (or sometimes much lower in aerobatic types) and don't break a sweat once they have had a bit of training.
All a very sad indictment of where the training industry is at the moment more than anything in my view.
