Why not try it before buying it by allowing CD's the option to set a hard deck. They are setting the task, so they know the type of flying people will need to do to complete the task.

A task can be challenging without being dangerous, but "it depends" is a constant in our sport - the CD (Task committee) is in the best position to make the determination of what the limits should be on any given day. They already set the Max height and Task type/distance/direction - give them one more tool to try.

I agree we all do not want to reward bad piloting and I agree with many other points in this thread - I am not so sure how most of it prevents a good pilot with local knowledge like Tomas for who this thread was started, from making a fatal mistake - but doing nothing gets us a known result.
