crash videoairplanes and helicopters are also banned...and rightfully so.
It's not just about personal responsibility. This guy was a pretty good pilot right up until the plane started to malfunction and it went it. How much personal responsibility would the pilot bear if he crashed in a remote area and started a fire. Some of the biggest fires have been started by a match or a discarded cigarette butt.
Would the pilot have the financial resources to pay to have the fire put out and the reparations to the forest?
