There was an ultralight accident, described to me by the surviving
student, near Homosassa Springs, FL a few years back in which the
instructor apparently committed suicide by inducing a series of
low-altitude stall/spins, the last of which ended in the water. The
instructor was killed, but the student survived, with severe injuries.
The student believes that this was a deliberate(and successful)suicide
attempt, not just garden-variety stupidity.
