"Today, performance"

It would be interesting to know if the fatality rate was the same when 1-26 were to only racing machines.

Our gliders have evolved allot in the past 5 decades - I know as technology advanced in a bunch of high speed sports ( cars, bobsleds, skiing....) the playing field and/or the rules had to adapt.

I am a libertarian at heart, except when my kids play a sport - then I hope the adults made the rules so the kids can play safe

I do not know the answer.
