I don't get accident statistics from RAS comments.


Which would be an admirable position Bill, except that I took the trouble to go and find the accident reports from the BFU and BGA and posted a list of winch accidents in my comment, including sources and accident report numbers.

The data says that in the period 2006-12 a German pilot had much the same chance as a UK civilian pilot of being killed or injured in a winch accident.

Perhaps you'd let us know whether you now accept that conclusion, rather than claiming that UK winch launches are 10 times more dangerous?
