MY TURN TO POST A THOUGHT.

We all know the dangers of down hill skying – at least I do! ’cause I still remember several hurts!

. Individual sports can be dangerous:

But, I was a ponderin’ more.  In this time of Olympics and Super Bowl and me joining the MoonPort Modelers Flying Club, sport safety was something I pondered as I ride my bike for hours each day.  Sport-club insurance is important for all sports & for a radio controlled model air plane clubs it is no different.

How fast do radio controlled planes fly?

Off the shelf RC Planes can do anything from 30 mph to 150 mph, depending on their design, construction, and type of engine.

Are RC airplanes dangerous?

There are dangers and accidents involved with the hobby sport of remote-controlled planes.  For example, hitting a by-stander with your plane, even at 30 miles an hour, hurts – A lot!I   So, you see, the sport carries risk, just like skateboarding, fishing, and archery.

Oh my, Did you say fishing is dangerous?

Things are perfect when you hook a nice-sized fish and finally get it in to shore.  The only danger here is for the fish – Right?  Well, consider, with a bass hooked and almost to the bank, you may not notice a wake begin to form and something approaching very quickly.

THINK SAFETY WHEN FISHING OR WALKING WITH YOUR DOG AROUND OUR TGO PONDS!

As you swing thru life Know that what ever your sport, safety is important – And also do not forget that “Pondering” is a fairly safe sport – if not done while driving on I95.
