If our actions are shown to be insufficient in a future incident, we have to update our mitigation. Why is it so hard to get people to do something, or is it just easier to sit there and type out some excuse for staying on our arses typing into computers...?

I am not saying you are wrong, but in my experience, when you use something as a 'prevention', the reason has to be backed up by hard fact. So not arguing that it is better to jump than be pushed, but got to be careful that the jump don't land you up in a thorny bush of trouble. Hence why that once you define that a LiPo sack will mitigate 'most' accidents, you then have to prove how, why, and how you determine which sacks are safe. Then have to enforce it. I am all up for safety, but it is the implementing it that worries me.
I just worry that this could make some clubs very awkward to manage.
Personally I would rather see ALL chargers only charge at 1c, and only be able to charge LiPo, as most charging problems I have heard of have come from using the wrong charge profile.
