Default RE: ama rule

If you want to find out whether or not the AMA will cover you for something of this nature, that's up to you to find out. But anyone with half a brain can prolly figure out they will not be covered, no matter what precautions they took to keep it safe
I wasnt the OP asking about whether this was against the code, that would be Tim.
He did want to know, and he came here to find out.


You are the one accusing folks of having only half a brain if they dissagree with your interpretation of Reckless or Dangerous, as posed in your citing the vagueries of SC#3 to answer Tim's query.

I am the one trying to demonstrate that it is all just interpretation of SC#3, so it can, and may very well be, interpreted not in violation of the Code as asked by Tim in the OP.




Exactly and hopefully with a lot of help from members and the AMA they'll be able to come up with a solution for this great new event and make it organized. Like, what are the limitations of weapon used, prolly the most important piece of the pie. Also what is going to prevent a gunner from tracking a plane right into the crowd? If he or she is looking down a barrel with one eye closed, and perhaps even with a scope, what is going to prevent that person from following a plane to a degree no greater then a certain angle? Right now there are no written rules for RC gunnery which means you think you can do whatever you want because this is America. It's true to a point, up until the point something happens.
so , it could be covered inside SC#3 when the AMA puts out a PDF on the rules, but anyone with half a brain knows there is no way anyone could come up with 144 rules that would encompase some 50rule AMA pdf that may come out someday? To take a cue from Flight of the Intruder, will you agrue it cant be done safely upto the day before the AMA says it can be done safely?

Even if that previous day we did it exactly as the impending PDF says to?

I wore seatbelts before the law said I had to, now that they are mandatory, am I any safer?
Was I unsafe because there wasnt a law saying I was safer in a seatbelt?

Wore a helmet when on a motorcycle too. Did that law make my head safer, or was I already helmet law/pdf safe before the law/pdf came out?

Will people all of sudden recognize French Fries & Donuts are bad for you, if NYC bans them?
Some folks know that now, and chose all by themselves not to eat fries with every meal every day.
