He addresses that directly. He says that there's absolutely no point in telling competitors to take fewer risks if risky behaviour is faster, so you need to regulate for safety
No, you really shouldn't, aside from spectators. If you've decided it's too unsafe for you, repsect that and take up curling.
I am specifically talking about competition.
I'd never do cave diving for example, i definitely don't want others to stop doing it becase i think its unsafe though.
how many people will need to die to convince you that safety needs to be prioritized and regulated?
