[QUOTE="Miket, post: 68006, member: 11542"] There are many reasons why regulating our quads to death WILL happen. We are a society that is controlled in everything we do or would like to do. Risk assessment is an idiotic practice born initially out of fear of being sued for compensation, for people who should have known better, than to carry out practices under circumstances that had probable bad consequences. In other words stupid people. This has been taken way over the top to the point where the limits are only governed by the 'imagination' of the people making the rules. Driving a car, motorcycle, bicycle etc. etc. etc. carries risks. Everything we do in life carries risks. This does not mean we should not do anything! We should just do them in a way that minimises risk to ourselves and others. We have to be allowed to be responsible for the consequences of our actions, not stopped doing things 'just in case!' Our problem is that we are going to be regulated by people who are earning a living doing it, and do not fly drones, do not know anything about drones and the safety technologies that are evolving, and because of this only have the power of their imagination to come to conclusions. I will be flying as much as possible in the near future, just in case new regulations cause me to be grounded due to all the pleasure being taken out of our sport. [/QUOTE]
