Not GA, but I recall an Air Force accident report where shards of the stick

grip in the palm of the back seat passenger's hand indicated that he was on

the stick at impact. I think it was an academy cadet in a T-33 and the

instructor in the front had a heart attack.

A 2-32 crashed at Calistoga, years ago when the rear passenger 'adjusted' his seating position and unknowingly shoved on one rudder pedal. They were coming over the west ridge line when suddenly the ship was in the trees. Like most ride 2-32's, the rear stick had been removed. Probably a good idea to remove the rudder pedals also.
