...My suggestion? First, find out things called facts...
Good idea... Whilst the pprune muppets might see fit to call the accident pilot an idiot we are yet to see an official accident report.

A very brief google of TB10 issues show seat failures and blinding smoke in cockpit incidents. Apparently the tail plane has had problems. And then there are the typical aging aircraft issues of airframe corrosion and wiring problems. Any of these 'issues' can fatally affect an aircraft on take off. Even a pax seat failure on take-off can have the pax grabbing for those 'handles' conveniently in front of them.

As an aside, I've had an absent minded pax use the flight controls as an aid to pull the seat forward. Luckily before flight so i were able to 'educate' the pax, again, about what not to touch.
