Dougs been stretchered off a number of times even with multiple minders but how do you retain difficulty but have safer sections ?

I think they could arrange section obstacles in tight patterns with very small margins of error, but do this on say 5 foot high rocks instead of 20 feet above the ground. It could be just as difficult without being so rediculously dangerous. The FIM seems to think that 15' splatters are a necessity. I disagree and would rather watch a rider working it in technical sections.

My 2 pence. Sorry for drifting off topic.

Good points all. A single minder will make it riskier, as the FIM is certainly not going to lower the obstacles or make it safer. Although they could and should.

Simple.

Make the bike's heavier again=Able to ease up section's a little.
