And what of the emergency chute , Granpooba ? Are you gonna tell us THAT wouldn't have saved the car's occupant either ?

Gee , I guess safety is only OK when it's us RCers being forced to practice it , while GA kills & maims more in a year than we ever have or ever will ?

All the while there ARE safety devices , like the emergency chute , that are specifically designed to save lives in instances just as these ?

The whole point of this discussion is that our friend Sport Pilot IS right , general aviation IS a far greater public health menace than our RC toys are , and yet the one device that could specifically prevent many GA deaths isn't mandated . That , my friend , is the textbook example of insanity , to bemoan air deaths all the while not requiring the very technology that was designed to save some of those lives !

Horns , , Indeed !!!!
