Better read it again, it says 4 years and a mid air does not, always result 
in loss of the airplane/airplanes, had three mid airs and only one loss.  I'm 
not saying they are a good thing, but they happen and not just a contests, in 
fact the three I've had were all in practice and only one involved another 
aerobatic plane.  If you fly a lot and fly with anyone else in the air it can 
happen.  All this theory about how to avoid them is pretty meaningless, most 
pilots don't fly so well that they can insure that they can be in or out at 
all times and even if they do the other guy probably can't.  It's the luck of 
the draw guys and short of flying alone you can't hide.  Fortunately no one 
dies!!

Now go fly and have fun and try not to have a mid air and it you must don't 
have one with me!!
