Dealing with deep divers is AIM;s major problem but it can be avoided with funds.
With individual stocks you have to be willing to lose your commitment. If you were a buy and holder you would have lost it all anyway. But if you were the momentum type you would have stops and pull out but that is at odds with AIM investing.
I think for the individual stocks that do well pulling some cash out of the AIM machine could potentially protect it from a future deep diver but doesn't help a relatively new investment that goes down the tubes.
You tend to swing for the volitile fences so having some of your investments blow up is to be expected. There is something to be said for making money slower and steadier.
Bulls can make money and bears can make money but pigs get slaughtered.
