Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 5:50 am Post subject: Rocket safety

Regarding whether or not a safety seminar is in order, boring or not,

please consider that there are roughly 175 Rockets reported to have

flown.  Then factor in how many have killed their pilots and/or

passengers.  I don't have the accident stats, nor the time to dig them

up, but I can think of around 10 fatal accidents, maybe more.  Does

anyone know the true number?



That seems pretty high to me.  I know that if I were buying a Chevrolet

that had a greater than 1 in 20 chance of killing me, I'd think twice

about it.



OTOH, I can't identify any specific deficiency with the plane.  Maybe

others can.  Maybe at a safety "conference". It is a good airplane.

Maybe too good.



YMMV,

Vince
