An interesting read. If this thread were about there being too much H&S these days - too much nanny state - I wonder how many of the people expecting this insurance to cover everything, no matter what they do, would also be saying there is too much nanny state these days...?!
The way to remove this problem completely is not to race these classes. If everyone does not take safety personally and actively, and there is a claim like the rock climbing one, then that's what may happen. We are a minority sport with little or no clout and zero public sympathy, so if something made the papers...
We all want our sport to be there for us, so now we all know what is and what is not covered, let's take responsibility and not be victims. As it has been for the last 25 years, safety is our responsibility... all of us...
