This is my view also, the cars are the resaon for the airbourne incidents, but others believe it's the surface etc., either way, IMO, more needs to be done, not neccessarily radical changes

Your unlikely to stop these incidents altogether, but the latest regs have stopped cars backflipping, I don't think it should be beyond the ACO/manufactuers to make the cars even less sensitive to becoming airbourne.
