I gotta agree with you here,
I am the chairman for our local RC club, before we had a purpose built track, we would meet in parks, BMX tracks and the like.
BMX bikes/ dog walkers ,etc were a constant hazard (obviously) and had to be given the right of way every time.
Had we had an incident like this (accidents don’t happen anymore, its always an incident with someone to blame)
The likelihood of the club, or me personally being sued would have been very high, It would have finished the club before we had even started.
Its easy to laugh at the ‘silly Girl’ and blame her for not looking were she was going, but
Who’s fault it was would be largely irrelevant , as the law would be on the side of a cyclist over a ic powered RC Truck in a public park..

I must be honest and say when I first saw this clip about a year ago, I thought that it was side splitting funny, its only now with a bit of responsibility to my name , I see it for what it is.

Don’t get me wrong I haven’t had my sense of humour removed, infact we have a funny vid clip of a club member hitting HIMSELF in the head with a hyper 7, while jumping a table top. :005: :032:
That is funny because he did it to himself, not to someone else.

You just get the feeling in this vid its more about intimidation than anything else.

Anyway, rant over as I am starting to sound like my Dad :010:
