To suggest that a Jabiru is a great aircraft because it survives well in an accident if and or when the engine fails is laughable, particularly if it fails more often.
The logic is flawed. Which is the better aircraft? - if you will probably die when the engine stops in a Lancair, then the Jabiru is safer because if the engine stops and you crash you probably won't die !! ??
PS I own a Jabiru and think it's a great aircraft, however the "for" arguments I hear about the engines and perceived airframe safety are laughable at best.

The aircraft in the article is clearly a Jabiru.
