The death of Steve Jones has me thinking hard. When I look at how many deaths have occured in experimental aircraft and compare that to the number of experimental aircraft that have been completed and flown, it seems to me that our "hobby" is quite risky. I'm ok with that. Also I factor in

I think you are mostly right, although BRS devices are heavily discussed, here, too. I wander if Steve could have survived with one of those. Sufficient altitude? If a plane spins when it's too low, maybe you can't. I don't know... Anyway, 3 k$ is VERY cheap. I'm afraid I could spend 5 times that,
