Default RE: ama rule

Mike-
thanx for the input.

I'd like to point out that Safe and Not Reckless are not the same.
Is flying on a 737 safe? Ask the folks in Brazil. Flying on a 737 was not safe for them, but it was not reckless of them.

Is flying Combat safe? No, accidents do happen, and damages do occur, but the frequency & severity of the accidents are minimized with precautions & measures taken- a set of rules change it from reckless to non-reckless. Now apply that to Gunnery like it is applied to Combat.

Neither Combat nor Gunnery are Safe. But both can be done non-recklessly ... unrecklessly... not reclessly... see, I just think Reckfully flows better than that: Reckless & Reckfull


Before we can describe what precautions should be observed, we have to first admit that there is some ammount of precautions that can make it not reckless, then strike a balance of risk abatement vs 6volume set of rules..... how reckless is reckless?

This is of course hingeing on SC#3 as the only rule found so far that might be interpreted to bar Gunnery. Has any other more definitive rule barring Gunnery been found?

STL:
Losing a RX is an accident. Shooting a plane with any kind of gun is intentional.
Professionals shooting off fireworks is intentional.
Shooting off fireworks is not safe.
Shooting off fireworks can be done non-recklessly

or put Demolition Derby in there, same thing
