The pilot of a US F-35 jet ejected as his jet crashed on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier in the South China Sea injuring seven, the US Pacific Fleet said in a statement Monday.
Im pretty sure the Osprey crashes more but the f-35 has a bunch of other things that could make it crash or could kill the pilots that restrict its use. They can't fly in the rain because they aren't lightning proof and will attract lightning strikes to the fuel tanks, they had too much stuff in the cockpit to make them useful for flying at night, and flying upside down causes problems to a lot of their internals. The ejection seat also has a coin toss to kill the pilot by snapping their neck (I could not find a pilot being decapitated though I know that was the meme).
There is also more that makes it an even more expensive boondoggle but those aren't parts that are crashing the plane (yet, they probably would in combat).
Guilty as charged. When describing why the military should cancel the program to libs I would say it had a chance of decapitation instead of internal decapitation.
The Osprey is the most dangerous aircraft operated in the world right now. It's less likely to successfully land than this thing.
decapitation
It hasn't happened, not even in this case which included a pilot ejection. I think it was floated as a possibility based on how heavy the glorified VR headset/helmet is.

Wow what a piece of shit

I would be scared shitless by that thing you linked.
