Some have said the current hullabaloo is unwarranted. Perhaps. But you cannot deny the fact that the public, media, regulators, and legislators are taking action none the less. Can you imagine what it will be like the first time something bad does happen?

My point to the AMA is that all it will take is one. One "Fast Freddy" at Mayhem Park that instead of pulling out of his high speed dive loses control and crashes his turbine in the middle of a busy interstate resulting in big pile up with injuries or worse. Or a slight change in circumstances that put the MR in New York through the windscreen of that helo and a resulting crash. All it will take is one. And yet they continue to take a hands off view of safety ... that it's the club's responsibility.
