hey man.. i do not want to be calling you out on this, but this is really not the attitude that we should be having..
accidents are by definition events that occur without warning, by mistake, etc. you are as prone to this happening as anyone else and dont ever think you are not. equipment failure, unexpected weather changes, injury.. you cant say any and all of this cannot occur..it does and it will..
with experience you greatly lessen the chances for these to occur by recognizing potential problems before they occur. BUT .. look at the number of serious injuries .. most all are experienced riders that got relaxed about safety and thought they could overcome situations where they should have been more cautious.
a new rider is just as dangerous as an experienced rider that thinks he/she is beyond getting caught in a bad situation..
look at the guy w/o a leash on saturday.. he is a great kiter.. his kite got away twice.. flew through the beach with children playing on it..
Can you imagine what could have happened if the bar had caught one of those kids???????
we would lose skyway for sure. absolutely and without question..
my plan is to do what i can to help and keep the beaches as safe as possible and be as responsible of a rider as i can be. i know you (and others) are doing the same.. just need to understand that no one is beyond an accident occuring.
i am not in favor of involving park officials or anything like that w/o some serious discussion by both sides of the table and a VERY clear understanding of what each side would be responsible for.
