Is it not also common sense that it is safer to be surrounded by a protective cabin, than ride out in the open? Ok...let's mandate that all motorcycles be surrounded by a cabin constructed of metal and glass (you have to be able to see out). Oooh...I know...let's also make straps that the operator can tie himself to seat with, and mandate thier use.

I don't know Bill, that contraption full of folks strapped into the equipment sounds pretty darn dangerous to me. And you want to surround these folks with glass? Shouldn't they be wearing helmets? And gloves? Glass can cut you pretty bad. And how can you jump off if it decides to fall over? Wouldn't you all be mushed together inside if it rolled over several times?

It certainly looked like a learning experience to me. Pretty messy once we got the bike off of him also. Ich! The screaming sure harshed my buzz!
And I agree StanT, but then I live in cowboy country and can get away with it a little better.
And I didn't even plan to have a horse in this race! Sucked in again.
