There was another Slingsby T67 fatal spin-to-the-ground accident in the UK in April 2016.
Anyone that thinks the Slingsby T67/T-3A Firefly is a safe airplane needs to read these accident reports:

280 aircraft built and at least 30 hull losses and 35 fatalities. Many of them are spin related. I call it the "Plastic Coffin."
From a
UK Fatal Stall or Spin Accident summary (1980-2008) report:
The accident rate for the Slingsby T67 was throughout the period much greater than any other certified type and has been treated as a special case.
The Slingsby T67, (8 fatal accidents) was excluded from the main numerical analysis but was studied as a special case. (See Appendix 2 of the full Report).
Keep in mind that pretty much every one of the dead Firefly pilots thought it was a safe airplane until just before impact so don't tell me, "I fly the T67 and it's a safe airplane." It's not. It's statistics are shockingly bad. It's got to be right up there with the 104 Starfighter.
