admitting inaction is as bad as action, the company directly or indirectly could not possibly advocate this sort of flying.

Whether or not the pilot was treated to a lesser level than he expected or not, is irrelevant, poor conditions did not kill this pilot, i like most others that work in GA have found themselves in this situation, it didn't make me go out and carry out these type of acts, hence the reason i'm still alive.

If this accident happened from a snapping wing spar whilst operating within the parameters of normal flight, then the arguement would be different.

in the same way this accident is not due to only one factor, if he didn't carry out this aerobatic manuevre, and subsequently stuff it up he'd have survived this flight.

even to the observers of this wing over it was evident he had not succesfully carried out this maneuver, be it legal or illegal, an aerobatic pilot in a pitts special could die in the exact same way.
