The title of this thread IMPLIES it's a AMA event. That's the issue here. Since they require a "license" than they should have to abide by the associated safety rules associated with that "license" would they not?
From your posts you seem to indicate you feel they are not.

Hi Mike ,

Yes Sir if they are AMA sanctioned then yes I do believe they are not following the safety rules because I saw no spotters where those drones were flying . That's one of the reasons I'd like to know for sure whether this is or is not an AMA event . If it is indeed an AMA event and if God forbid an accident did badly injure someone , would the AMA's insurance carrier pay when the AMA itself stepped outside of it's own safety code for this event ?
