The thread "Crashes in the News" post number 710 brought up the question of whether aircraft are safe and if design improvements to improve aircraft safety are possible and the relative advantage and need for improved training for existing aircraft versus design improvements applied to existing designs and new aircraft.

The initial discussion had to do with loss of control accidents but this thread is for expanded safety discussions of any type. It is intended for aircraft design and stability and control issues as opposed to air traffic control, weather, structural or maintenance issues but we will see where it goes.
