As everyone knows by now, sh*t happens. Not being careful, taking shortcuts, lapse of judgment, testosterone, etc, etc, or just plain fate are just a few causes of mishaps and *accidents*. We can only do our best and hopefully not get burned, or hit, or smashed or...(famous last words).
Be careful out there in this wild, wild, world.

What's even worse is to watch a guy fall 70+ feet from a tree, never to see his wife a kids again. This is all after the local firehouse was called and on there way. So it's not just Power or sailplanes that kill, it's the lack of brains..... -----Original Message----- From: GRW [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 12:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] model mishap? Model accidents aren't uncommon. Fatalities aren't that common either. I have been hit by both powered and non powered and both hurt like hell. The non-powered was a Zagi and it knocked me completely over and the wind out of me, this was a drilling right to the chest. I was fortunate. In Vegas many years ago a young boy lost his life chasing his dads plane and another plane went into his chest. I heard that they figured a .60 size plane cruising at a moderate speed weighing about 8lbs has nearly 50,000lbs sq. in. at the time of impact. I don't know where they got the data but that is scarey for sure. Just be careful out there. ===== ---------- Glenn W. Tri-Cities, Wa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
