One has to wonder if Cessna would allow a that 1/3 (or 1/4 or 1/8) to

indemnification.

Sorry, but indemnification from the buyer still leaves Cessna open to
lawsuits by family members of the buyer, passengers, any other victims on
the ground, and so on. The buyer can only speak for him or her self.

One example I recall followed a Bonanza pilot flying VFR into IMC, and
digging a hole somewhere in Kansas. Pilot error, no evidence that the
aircraft broke up for any reason other than majorly severed overstress.

The lawyer (or law firm) going for civil damages added everyone he/they
could think of, including Beechcraft. They were demanding something on
the order of $2B in damages. That "B" was intentional, not a typo.

And the suit wasn't laughed out of court by the presiding judge.
