162 Skycatcher crashes

Luckily the pilot was able to bail out before it spun in. Just read
this on AvWeb.

Here's the link to the story. The 162 was Cessna's first entry into
the "sport and training market"... Yeeeesh...

To be fair, the article did not say it was Cessna's "first" entry.

Which would have been innacurate in any case.

Since it was introduced, I've always wondered why they put the doors of the
162 on backwards. They open at the front. It always seemed to me that if
the door became unlatched in flight (not unusual), that it would then be
ripped off by the airstream. I guess now I see the value in it. If you
need to bail out, it works almost like the quick-release latches on aerobatic
aircraft. Pop the door handle and the door flies away.
