Ramy Ramy - 1) Wasn't the Parowan crash at the top of a tow? *I read a report that implied it was only at 2000' AGL or so - not a whole lot of altitude if you do not use proper recovery technique. 2) See the comments about spiral dives. *Failure to recover from that is a much worse outcome than failure to recover from a spin (with relatively low speeds and low g-forces, compared to a spiral dive) 3) Remember we're all speculating. *We can say that a spin-type of event may have been part of the accidents, based on eyewitness reports. *BUT we don't know what caused them. *Anything from a mechanical failure to a medical condition could have complicated matters or explained the lack of recovery. *This is where we have to sit back and wait for the NTSB - as tough as that is...
