The EC is very much aware of the concerns that Abel has expressed for years, about rule #3 of the Saftey Code. That rule has caused many clubs to purge club safety rules in an effort to keep the AMA coverage at maximum strength, and not create exclusions to the AMA coverage. That is not in the best interest of safety at the field. This step is significent in the goal of making fields safer. It is a continuing effort on the part of the AMA. All of the pieces are not in place, nor even agreed to. Although Able has a point in his post in this thread, it is the move to a safer environment that makes it a major step.

This step alone will not achieve the goals the EC is committed to. Watch for more in the forseeable future.
