Default RE: How many times do you crash?

the last crash I had was due to mechanical failure in flight. I was flying a buddys ultra stick 60, and the wing blew off in flight at about 200 feet in the air. the crash before that was with my Cub trying to do a one wheel rolling touch and go, and I hit the wing tip on the runway causing a cart wheel.(still haven't fixed it yet) I've had numerous less then perfect landings, but the repairs were limited to re bending the landing gear.(with the exception of my great planes P-51, I ripped one of the mains off snagging a unmowed weed in the run out area [:@] ) I had one total loss, flying inverted showing off and forgot up is down. then there was the "look how low I can fly inverted" (yes I've done that twice) followed by my buddy saying "yep thats pretty low" while laughing his head off, as I walked out to pick up the wreckage. I haven't got the guts to try that one again... yet. for the most part if I have a mishap it's from pushing my limits, weeds on the run out, or a rough landing.
