Yes, I agree. If you stick with the rules as they are now, apply prudent airmanship for VFR category flights to remain in VMC, then inadvertent IMC leading to an accident just shouldn't happen. If you're flying below the MSA you need to be able to see far enough around you, at an appropriate speed, to avoid flying into something that would ruin your day. There should always be a plan B option, divert or turn around. And if plan B fails, then plan C should be self-evident. Land at the nearest suitable landing site and wait it out. Especially when flying in the mountains you need to leave yourself a wide margin for plans B and C. And plans B and C should always be considered together, because once plan B fails it might be too late to start thinking about plan C if the only suitable place to land has just disappeared into the weather. It really is difficult for me to comprehend doing anything else.
