All this red tape keeping us alive! How dare they not let me put tons of material into the sky, let it move around as fast as I like and expect me to be liable if it lands on some toddler’s head.
Aviation is fucking dangerous. I know, I knew many private pilots of experimental aircraft growing up, some of which died in accidents.
One guy died when his seat slid backwards while climbing out from takeoff causing him to pull back on the yoke and cause a stall. This is a stupidly common way to go.
Another died when his twin lost engine power on one side, again during takeoff, and he spun into the ground.
The list, unfortunately goes on. Neither of those particular two on the list died in experimental aircraft, although the pilot of the twin did survive an earlier crash in an experimental during landing, where he misjudged the time it takes to spool up a jet engine.
Do not take private companies putting things I to the sky lightly.
