My point is that we should be looking into defence mechanisms to help prevent VFR pilots getting into IMC. I would be somewhat very surprised if some VFR pilots are keeping their IF scan current using simulators based on an expectation that they may end going IMC. If this is the case, they need to seriously consider getting an instrument rating.
I have had two very good mates killed in two seperate CFIT accidents, and also had the displeasure of being involved in a number of onsite fatal accident investigations where the sights and smells were terrible. Hence I'm pretty passionate about doing everything to prevent these kind of tragedies given my personal experiences.
