I found the following sentence quite bizarre. > Jim crashed within the 3 km finish circle, and therefore got both speed and > distance points for the day. In accordance with the rules, Jim did not incur a points penalty for crashing.
Surely competition rules should be in place to discourage crashing: i.e. you crash, you are out of the comp. You pack up and go home. Can any comp directors enlighten me? In the few comps that I have flown in, it appears that risk taking behaviour goes up. I'll leave it to others more experienced in these matters to give reasons why.
