Default Cameras in the Cockpit

Most pilots won't give up .igc files when they are in an accident; much more factual information available there than with a camera (in my opinion). It is usually possible to sort out what went wrong. Without such data, you are just another person with an opinion.

I worry about cameras not sufficiently restrained during an accident injuring the pilot or passenger...
