| The fact that the flight station was moved AFTER the accident, is proof everyone knows this type of close in flying is dangerous, and pushing the limits. But, in the interest of being cool, we do it anyways. To hell with the risks, right??
Someone NEEDS to be killed. Preferrably in front of a Dateline NBC camera, then this will stop, and event, ans flying field regulations will finally be inforced to protect everyone , including the stupid pilot, who is too stupid to realize he is flying a lawn mower in front of his face.
I hope someone got it on tape, and forwards it to the media.
But, a little girl or boy, preferably one that is flying a 90 at say 9years old, needs to be decapitated. THat would do it.
So, encourage it, call it cool, and wait. Then, when the dust settles, blood and body parts, we will be regulated and safe.
Until then, hide behind the freq board.
The Heli Media, and Sponsors need to address this, ands stop this type of flying, it serves no purpose, other than to prove who is more "locked in". Bragging rights for the flyers do not trump the fact that a flying lawn mower, almost out of control, with no blade guard , is being vectored towards themselves and others.
It's not right, and everyone knows it. You KNOW it, but are not willing to admit it that it is a problem....because it is COOL. Remember it is cool when death happens. |
