MJ, so why do you see pulling as giving up? What is it giving up, certainly not the will to live.

To, as you put it:

never give up ever
would necessitate there always being a guaranteed favourable outcome, this is clearly not the case, therefore giving up trying to put it on the ground and pulling is in fact a sensible option when other options have run out.

The difficult question is in determining when that point is.

Nail on the head with this one! I don't know the reason for accidents in spin training, however your above statement could be an influencing factor.
