From what I read here there are those who really could care less if they cause injury to others and more than likely would be financially unable to compensate for the damages they cause.
Because 'accepting responsibility for the safe operation of their models' directly translates to 'Buy AMA insurance'.
Riiiiiiight.
Look, pal, you may need to buy insurance in order to operate your stuff safely, but not everyone does. I have no problem doing so without. I don't want to injure someone with my RCs, the blood stains the covering and doesn't do the engines any internal favors, but that doesn't mean I need to send sixty bucks a year to a bunch of bureaucrats. I've been operating my glow powered cars for seven years now and I haven't even so much as stubbed a toe or burnt a fingerprint with them.
Operating RCs safely isn't rocket science.
It is unfortunate there are those who refuse to accept responsibility for their actions
I don't need a card in my wallet and a magazine spamming up my mailbox to accept responsibility for my actions. I'm independent enough to do that on my own, don't need my hand held every step of the way.
