I think when the first blade came off it probably damped the enthusiasm. Or perhaps when a noob stalled it and it went in nose first launching the pilot into the blade. Or maybe they seat belted in and had trouble exiting when upside down? What could actually go wrong?

And this is why we can't have fun on Beechtalk. Some always has to show up with a divergent opinion.
