In this topic another ground accident has been announced that claimed a life of a Rotary Forum member.
Earlier this year a new gyro owner died working on his newly purchased gyrobee.
A few years ago my friend Chuck Irby died from a prop strike while working on his Dominator.
I have not run any numbers but it seems like ground accidents might be surpassing in-air accidents.
The only thing I can think of is to write a short 'brochure' on ground safety and make it available as a free download from GyroWiki and the PRA web site.
Sellers could include it with the sale of gyros, new owners could download it.
Does anyone else have any ideas. That's all I have.
