I think I will put one on the Disco, just for getting off the beach at South Ballina (Boundary Creek) - had a close call there about a year ago.
It's a dune about 4 metres high, into a gully then another dune the same.
The wife and kids got out of the Disco, stood on the dune and waved furiously. I was stationary on the beach. Flying over the dunes was a (mature) dude in a 'cruiser.... could've been ugly....
And this on a fairly deserted beach.

Why am I reminded of the joke (from back in the days when we were allowed to be politically incorrect) of the Italian taxi driver in Sydney who always went through red traffic lights, but stopped at the green ones in case his brother-in-law was coming along the other street?Quote:

For such a simplistic piece of equipment, why do we need stats and reports and investigations? If it saves you or someone else only once (even if it's in 20 years!), then it's worth it's weight in gold.
For the 5 minutes it takes to set one up surely it's worth the effort.
Thats FINE! Take it whichever way you like...Quote:

You and I never had any future.... I won't participate in trips etc with anyone not willing to enhance safety etc.....
Sorry about your skin :D
No it wasnt a rude insult... It was a statement.Quote:

If people take offence in being called to account on something thats not something I'll lose sleep over....

being called a complacent fool may not be an insult to you,,
but it was to NM.
and I would think most others,,,
