This is what happens when you're a schmuck and fly into IMC without an
Instument Rating...
Only happens if you're a "schmuck" though, and cannot happen if you have
an instrument rating.
I'm not sure if this was a tongue-in-cheek post, or not -- but there are
quite a few "loss of control in IMC" accidents every year by pilots with an
IR in their pocket.
Not to say it's not a good thing to have, but an instrument rating ain't a
"get out of jail free" card unless you're proficient and flying
well-maintained iron.
