To be perfectly honest, I’m sick to death of this whorey old chestnut of a topic.
Fact is, accidents happen – both human error & structural failure. We have to accept that – That’s Life!
That does not, in my mind, mean we should all give up taking some risks – either as visitors to air shows, or those that are lucky enough to be pilots.
So long as displays are kept within specific boundaries – reducing as much as possible the chances of anyone outside the display area being hurt, then I cannot see what the problem is.
Wrap me up in cotton wool and stop me crossing the road, why don’t you.
I equate this debate to the sort of nonsense that is going on in many of our schools – where children cannot even play hopscotch in the playground because some monster called “insurance” has put an end to all risk.
This is a stupid, mindless discussion which doesn’t take us anywhere, at the end of the day. Live & Let Live.
