So sorry to repeat something I posted on That Other Thread but I'm going to anyway....

There are plenty of accident reports where pilots/pax have suffered head injuries in spamcans when they came to a sudden stop. This is not conjecture, it's fact and the CAA must have statistics somewhere on it.

So why do the CAA not recommend, propose, request or indeed insist on bonedomes being worn when flying ANY aircraft?

If we are going to have regulation, then let's make it regulation with reason, not regulation about something where there is apparently no evidence to suggest that it's been a problem in the past.

That's why I'm p'd off about it. Stupid regulations based on insurance assessors and men with calculators & a**e protectors, not based on facts and the real world.

Oh, and if I catch myself with a HVV whilst inspecting an aircraft, can I sue the CAA or the Airfield safety Committee? No, I thought not....
