if I'm ever a a car accident, I'll be sure to report it to AAA as well as the state and my insurance company.

Yes but none of those organizations are running around claiming they should be afforded special privileges based on a manufactured safety record.

You just don't get it do you? Or you don't want to get it.

The AMA is the one making the claims of safety. Which wouldn't be so bad in itself except the AMA is pointing to their insurance claims as their proof. When in fact the vast majority of RC accident damage and injuries never make it to the AMA. They're handled either privately or by someones primary insurance policy. This in turn makes the AMA's claims unfounded. Yet they and their members continue to spew forth what amounts to a bald faced lie. The only thing the AMA can claim is a relatively small number of insurance claims over the last xx years.

And in their research do you actually believe the FAA and government haven't noticed this?

I started this thread for a specific purpose. However I did expect it to turn into another one of the type of thread it has. You guys have both disappointed and NOT disappointed me. I'll stick to my original hobby thank you. You can have RC for as long as it might last.
