Hi Guys,

To set the record straight; some years ago JPO put that in along with the safety barrier requirement to the AMA as a recommended change to the turbine regs, the AMA agreed.

At one event over the period of a few hours, two rudderless jets went through the pit area. One struck a lady and knocked her down, giving her several bruises. The second ran into another model and did significant damage to it, the owner at first felt it was totaled.

Then JPO president Vern Montgomery felt this need to be addressed, and it was hashed out on the JPO members list, and I think the jets list, and finally sent to the AMA along with several other recomendations.
