Please Do NOT Try This At Home!


A rather well-known video of an attempted loop of a trike at an airshow in Europe many years ago. I was told by a source that the pilot actually might have survived the impact, but for the fact that he was not wearing a helmet at the time and his head was split open by the front strut.


Moral of the story? Trikes do not have tails. Do not exceed 45 degrees of pitch, especially without a helmet or BRS....
