Cmon Ahsan,
You know how big the event is. You know how much people talk smack about others, including yourself. Frank posted a full accounting of what went on. Do you really think he would've let the guy fly, if he was presented with known issues?Bottom line, when you run a big jet event, you do the best you can to be safe, and you hope and pray that no one is hurt.
Every time I ran an event at Hamburg, I never really relaxed until it was over, with no injuries or damage. Nature of the beast. You can't know everyone's skill level, or safety ethic. That's just a small part of what a jet event cd endures. Yet guys still do it. Some of us believe that the risk is worth taking, for the good of the hobby/sport. We should all be thankful that there are still people willing to do that. Respectfully,
Erik

3) If So, then they can't really claim accident, they knowingly refused to address a problem.
