“So line up & get your lead painted Cessna in a hurry folks! /s”

Not the lead I would worry about. That will take a long time to kill you. I’d be more worried about the inferior metals, quality, and production processes. Something like a wing collapsing on final would be a real downer.

“...Something like a wing collapsing on final would be a real downer....”

But you’d be on the ground faster. ;-)

I've seen structural failures on Chinese motorcycles. Defective welds (bubbles; but sometimes pretty on the outside), and outright stressed member failings due to inferior alloys. Sure, Cessna will present one or two copies for FAR approval with state of the art metals from their space program. The rest will be made from ground up Chinese motorcycles.

Let the survivors sue the hell out of Cessna if it is proven that the fault lies with poor workmanship by the manufacturer.
