Wow!!. let me see.. We have:
- a newly registered poster
- bad initial spelling, punctuation and syntax, that morphs into articulate writing.
- narrow use of well researched statistics on a very newsworthy topic.
I call Journalist on the prowl, trying to get some Pprune "pilots say" quotes.
Let me imagine the headline. "Ban private flying before a school is hit"
"Are Pilots just outlaw sky Bikies?"
Well here are some facts for you:
Aviation is a form of transport. All forms of transport have an element of danger associated with them. Aircraft accidents are far more likely to be fatal due to the high speeds they operate with. All accidents are preventable, however about 27 people will die every year from aircraft crashes, 1000 will die from road accidents, and 20 will die from falling off horses. As we are humans, I can't see this changing much.
