----------------------------------------------------------- From: Awesome_Marcos1 Message 69 in Discussion safety is your responsibility, as you say, but there is also a wider duty of care you may not set-out to harm someone, but going onto the piste with old or faulty gear, such as an old blade, can cause injury you may not set out to cause harm, and nor does your opponent, but two inexperienced fencers, getting caught up in the moment, can cause hurt - the President has a duty of care to calm them down - Keith getting whacked by a bunch of Italians is an example of the president letting him down fencers may think that fencing Epee in a tracksuit is fine, as they are not knowledgeable enough in the sport to understand the risks - it is the organisers duty of care to protect fencers from themselves and enforce what they consider to be a minimun saftey standared - the example of FIE guidelines being an example people ae responsible for their own safety, but sometimes some hand-holding and forsight by others is needed ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/IrishFencingForum/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
