What if the Cessna salespeople and marketing was all doublespeak about high G flying (allegedly the salespeople on the floor go way beyond doublespeak sometimes)? Yeah the pilot would be to blame, but in that case Cessna would also be to blame.



If you actively circumvented multiple mechanisms that prevented you from making those manuevers, then yes, you bear full responsibility.

The driver deliberately set out to sabotage mechanisms which are there to protect you.

A more apt comparison would be if the pilot disabled the stall warning on the aircraft. Then attempted to do low flying maneuvers at the threshold of the aircraft's stall speed.

If someone deliberately disables safety features, they hold the bag.
