Yeah but how do you think the parents of other 10 year olds will view flying if they were to pick up and read that issue and don't know much else about aviation? If I give my copy of that magazine to my neighbors kid do you think their parents are going to be more or less inclined to let me take their kid on a young eagles flight after seeing all the safety / accident articles?

I dont' think this is just a sport aviation problem either. It seems like alot of the flying magazines have run out of ideas for things to write about so they start digging up NTSB reports and writing articles about the accidents to fill space.
