Default RE: Would you sue?

Jim

You know me, I'm pretty moderate and try and be sensitive however I fail to see why this is a touchy subject? If you are referring to the accient that happened last year, it is well over a year ago so I'm not certain how the timing is suspect ... if there is a new one we are not aware of then I apologize. If Randy is referring to the year ago accident then I would suggest any OPP investigation is long completed.

I cannot speak for Marc however I think this posting was in response to something raised on one of the others re: rising insurance rates and we better be careful cause if we have another accidnt like the last one our rates will go up.

My problem with this is that here is what we recieve:

"Rates are going up, we must enact rules because we don't want another accident like the last one so be careful" and "one more like the last one and we will not be able to get insurance". SO the logical question is "what happened last time?" "Can't tell you but be careful cause if we have another like the last one we will ..."

Do you see the frustration?

FYI many years ago most MAAC insurance claims were for model to model damage, something the board stopped paying. It may indeed be appropriate to ask whether we examine an injury waiver if you agree to participate in model aviation (I don't think so , but I think the question is valid ... try getting life insurance if you skydive!!!)
