You are wrong! The way that Hitler got started is that people looked
the other way while people were dying because they didn't belong to
their group. Do you want everyone just to stand around while people
are being killed by practices and gear configurations that are already
known to be dangerous?

Just look at the techdiving fatality statistics for this year alone
and then tell me that everybody should be able to teach students
any stupid method or gear configuration. We should not keep quiet
just because it is bad for business.
Dead students are bad for business!
