    Why dont ppl carry helmets with them for emergency's?

    If you choose to be helmeted, maybe a lightweight one. Heavy helmet + unrestrained heavy head + impact + restrained body = sometimes not good things.

    Hawker down.

    From the trajectory that the plane appears to have in the surveilance video, I expected to see a long trail of debri at the crash site - footage of the site seems show a very small footprint. Is that embankment that steep?

    Will a Solid State Hard Drive Change My Life?

    SR-22 ditching 200nm from Hilo

    That is a freakishly great endorsement for CAPS. Heads' up pilot prepped for impact with door open. Hindsight is 20/20. - Without having seen this video, would you guys have pushed on away from the aircraft, or stayed on the wing like this pilot did? **As far as ditching without CAPS...

    Drones near JFK commercial airplanes spotted

    Have we ever gotten close to property owner's having some sort of protected airspace... say up to 300' ?? Is that even a good idea? As for the article, if UAV's are violating airspace around airports, they should be eliminated on sight - period. ... here's to training "Anit-UAV Enforcement...

    Quad copter thought...

    ^^ this,... and you would want to mount the pistol on a gimbal in the center of the vessel - where recoil is directed in the most vertical plane possible - enabling better control - and even programming to compensate as the trigger is actuated. I guarantee you, the good 'ole Armed foreces...

    Looks like maybe a landing gear failure - leadsing to a prop strike ?? Lucky gal! If that happened to me, I don't think I would experience the proces of soiling my britches.... I think it would just materialize outside of my body- instantly. ... like "Scotty" beaming my poo somewhere...
