Lets get rid of eating, drinking, sleeping and family members. These are the greatest cause of deaths world wide! :lol:

Poli poeple are only there to get re elected and their benefit packages - that is all they care about. Most are failed business men and lawyers. Used to be that if you could not make it you became a truck driver, now it is a legalized thief.

The facts are that the insurance companies will ban future Reno air races because they will make insurance costs for the show inordinately expensive.
It has nothing to do with wussification - it's actuarial.

Even if you could attend by signing a release that the show would not be liable when an airplane fell on you, the release would not be worth its paper.

'Lawyerification' is just a form of Wussification. . . :D

"first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.

Texas has all but eliminated medical malpractice lawsuits by placing a $200,000 cap on awards - you can't get an atty to work for a third of this because he couldn't afford to pay a medical expert witness. (doesn't apply to product liability, etc)
However, there are also bound to be legitimate gripes swept under the rug by this legislation.
