Boyd,
If you had been following this thread since I started it you
would know that: my motivation was the
belief that we should all seek to be well informed about the nature of
hypoxia and use common sense in the application of that knowledge.
My comment re the NZ Regs was simply to agree with
Christopher's rather than Mike's interpretation of NZ Reg 2.1.
Yesterday I said that "I won't waste any more of my
time trying to generate a debate on the hypoxia issue."
Having some potentially more productive things to do, I will
now follow my own advice.

Oxygen use
Hello Mike,
There is another reason why Brigadier Brian
Wade AM (Ret'd) and others are
wrong.
The reason is that it is a
fundamental principle of criminal law that if
there is an ambiguity, the
ambiguity is interpreted in favour of the
defendant. So if there
were an ambiguity in a regulation about whether or
not oxygen is required
at a certain height, the result is that it is not
required.
This is
a crystal-clear example of why policing should be left to people
with
legal training - policemen and the Courts. Club officials should not
usurp
that role. In our sporting clubs we need sportsmen who know the sport
and can pass their knowledge and enthusiasm to others. It would be a
sad
day if legal training became a necessity for officials of sporting
clubs,
and we who belong to sporting clubs should ensure that this does
not happen.
Leave policing to professional
policemen.
Cheers,
Boyd

No puzzle at all
