One of my favorite tidbits on this topic is that the much maligned SGS 2-33
has been shown to survive a crash better than most. Part of the reason for
that is that a 2-33 will probably be going slower than most when it
crashes.

What do you base this conclusion on? I've seen several 2-33s that have been
crashed and sure wouldn't want to be in one! I know of a passenger that broke
an ankle in a stalled 2-33 crash that broke the plane in two (behind the wing
trailing edge), and having spent some time giving rides in the back seat of
those horrible things, would sure not want to be in one during a hard
landing!



Saw a 2-33 make a very hard landing once. Bent the landing gear up
sideways. The guy in the back seat went away on a backboard.
