The TT is simply a dangerous event and there is a real limit on how safe it can actually be made. That said I think a better job needs to be done AND it sound like the group that has been running the TT for the last couple of years is moving in the correct direction.

Life and living is a dangerous event, potentially. I'd love to see a risk assessment for giving birth in an isolated rural community. There is potential for danger in getting out of bed. I agree with you that there are addressable issues on safety values but the TT in itself embraces a dangerous challenge, that's what it's all about.

To label it a "dangerous event" engenders a different value construct. "An event with potential extreme dangers but with the payoff of enhancement of self-esteem amongst like-minded peers" is the best I can come up with.

Let's hope that the knee-jerk response that is sure to follow does not kick too many folk in the nethers. 2much2 hope I no.
