Indeed,
You have to decide for yourself if you are up to the task or not. It is called personal responsibility. We don't put signs above fireplaces saying "Don't put your hand in the fire" as well. I think the legal system still assumes that a normal adult doesn't need a personal guardian all the time to tell him what is wise and what is ... ehhh ... unwise I hope we never go to a justice system that is based on endless litigation.

Wouter is spot on here. It is ALL about personal responsibility.
Darryl, it's your line of thinking that will end it for all of us! Why does it ALWAYS have to be someone elses fault when we clearly do something we should not have!
I don't like big brother telling me what I can and can't do and I certianly don't want the RC telling when I can and cannot sail. That's my decision and my decision alone! If this sport is to scary for you, then take up golf.
