Good call Tony....its all about procedure and concentration...............if those things are followed correctly, and not changed then safe starting, will be the norm with or without a glove. Procedure, concentration, and communication are the key to high safety. Most of the injuries at our vary large club(almost 300 members) are generally lacking in 2 or more of the 3 Keys to safety. I could right a book about lack of communication at out field.............lets just say I call for a landing and landing direction(loud outside voice) I call dead sticks(loud voice) and if I do loose control(dumb thumbs) anywhere in the sky I call heads UP!!!!!!!!!!!and yes (loud outside voice) but only a few of the 300 will.
So I'll get off the soap box now and back to regular programing of having fun in a great hobby.
