Flight lesson with a deadly end

My first thought when I saw the picture was that it must have spun in, froom it sattitude and the tail damage.

have ratchet straps

Every aerobatic plane I’ve ever flown has five-point harnesses with a ratchet for tightening them up. You tighten them as far as you can. Then you do a belt check (-1G inverted) and you realise you’ve barely started.

A Group member and his wife died in our Jodel DR1050 in 1999. LOC in cloud. One wingtip broken off, firewall forward gone. Rest showed little exterior damage. Seats undamaged. I saw the wreck sitting on its wheels in a hangar before being stripped of fittings and burned.
.i was told there was no visible body damage, instant death due to organs tearing loose from forces
Diagonal belt works with two in a narrow cockpit. One could slip out.
