Please define "unsafe". Nobody got hurt. If we wanna start getting all
nasty about it (and its interesting that I haven't heard _one_ of the
200+ people who were there say it shoulda been stopped. Guess we're all
unsafe idiots), do the safety guidelines exist to prevent human damage or
vehicle damage?

Folks with a bit longer memory may well remember me posting a while back
about how autox should be safe, we should work toward making it safe, etc.
Perhaps those folks would then also give me a modicum of credit and
realize that my attitude towards that hasn't changed and yet _I didn't
start jumping up and down about how unsafe everything was_. Like I've
said in this thread before, this was a "maybe this isn't quite right"
type of thing. Not enough to shut down an event, but certainly enough to
bring it up so the line isn't pushed in future events.
