Ya no, there's not really a lot to learn from the truly stupid. You learn from smart people making poor decisions in situations where you might find yourself making the same decisions, not from idiots doing things that no rational person would consider. Some village is missing its idiot.

how close is close?
I'm curious why we'd call this a near miss or close call ( with death I guess?)
this is impact with terrain, a hit .....not a miss. Just not solid enough to bring down a bonanza.
no injuries, great.
a lesson for some of us? Surely.
(Caution: some clouds may contain rocks.)
It would Never happen to me.
....well, no more than once, right?

When I was a green ag pilot....
....back in the early 70's, I drug an Agtruck wingtip in the soybeans one summer and darn near lost it. You'd be amazed at how little of a hit can go a long ways to your demise. I noticed the Bo yawing as it hit....totally asinine flight into IMC.
Yeah, the village idiot,

The lucky village idiot. Would that he had used that quota of luck (if there is such a thing) buying a Powerball ticket.
