Many forced landings on highways here in Australia result in horrific accidents. Nearby to me, an ultralight pilot forced onto a road was run down by a semi-trailer and killed.

I met a guy who was chopped nearly in half by a twin's prop as he was tying down a cover on top of a truck by the roadside. This guy was huge in a tall way, he said he is 3 inches shorter now than he was due to re-construction of his spine and legs.

Our roads make extensive use of "guide posts" which are generally of solid hardwood firmly driven into the ground, they protrude about 3 feet from the ground, making glider landings out of the question on most roads.

Power poles/lines/traffic/guide posts........... a bad mix.
I was taught to aim between trees if possible to take the wings off and survive by spearing through the scrub in an emergency, a dubious plan at best

Look at it this way, it is a quick and cheap way to make your aircraft a clipped-wing

Esselbach: No I'm not, just have gotten used to saying that ever since I saw "Scent of a Woman" with Pacino, he just says it so well, what can I say  :P
