I'm aware of two other fatal accidents following a rudder wag.
Perhaps, we are all too dense to be flying. Perhaps some, like
myself, who were flying long before the rudder wag signal was
"standardized", are confused by the fact that it was once commonly
used as a signal to indicate that this would be a good point to
release. Or, perhaps it is just a bad idea...

Marc, I was unaware of the rudder wag ever being a signal that this would be a good point to release. How wide spread was this? Was this a local thing? It would seem that such an understanding would be a difficult thing to change considering the law of primacy.
