I like it a lot, Neil. When my issue of Flying magazine arrives the first
things I read is the "I learned about flying from that" column, then the
"Aftermath" column, then Garrison's tech column, then look at the rest.

Glen;
Your comments about the indications of what happened in
Seth's accident made
me wonder about whether it would be helpful to the LSR
community to publish
an "Accident Report" on serious accidents at SCTA/BNI
events.
Two precedents that I'm familiar with are the "Accidents in
North American
Mountaineering" by the American Alpine Club and "Caving
Accidents" by the
National Speleological Society. They are not formal,
official investigations
like those by the NTSB; they are simply reports written by
others who are
familiar with what happened or who have talked to those who
were involved.
The reports cover not only what actually happened but also
offer an opinion
on what went wrong and how it could be prevented in the
future.
It seems as if this feedback could be beneficial in making
LSR safer for
everyone. As it is, little is learned from other's mistakes
or accidents
except from what is heard via the "grapevine".
What does anyone else think of this idea?
Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
