I think we need to keep this in perspective. While a serious fracture is no
laughing matter, I don't think we can get too carried away when we not only
condone, but encourage CP vehicles to compete. ;-)
What I am trying to say is that there have been plenty of broken arms from
street cars tipping over, there have been 3 deaths and probably dozens of
course workers hit by spinning cars. Mailboxes have been smote, cars have
ended up completely outside the site on major roads where a catastrophe was
averted only by good chance.
I think the occasional broken arm is part of the risk of driving a kart. It
is up to each individual to determine if the risk is acceptable. (Damn, I am
starting to sound like Ben!)
