I agree 100%, sadly enough I know (knew) more people who killed them self (and their passengers) in light Aircrafts than on the Roads! All common denominator pushing the limits beyond their or their Equipments capability combined with not enough experience. DONT DO IT!

You start with a Bag of Luck and the Recipe is to replace the Luck with experience before the Luck runs out!

Just a few years ago a very Experienced Airline Captain I know did a wing-over followed by a low pass, did a high speed stall when he tried to pull up as the ground came close. Killed his passenger and he is now disabled him self and can't work. All in an attempt to impress people on the ground including his passengers party. What a tragedy. Again DONT DO IT! I am sorry if I sound negative, just seen it too often for comfort.
btw I fly as Captain on a Corporate Jet (Global Express) and have of course also flown a lot of hours on small single engine Piston Aircrafts. But now a days only on the odd occasion when the sky is blue ;-)
