    Ok, what is the genuine reason shit like this keeps happening?

    "Skywriter crashes plane while doing non-gender reveal based stunt" just doesn't get as much visibility.

    Small engine aircraft accidents aren't that unusual. And amateur stunt artists taking rich clients to maintain the equipment for their very expensive hobby are on the front lines of "people most likely to down a small engine aircraft doing something stupid".

    This is pure selection bias.
