    yep black duck...but i think its still up to the driver to get out and assess any track that they are about to take on, there is always the option to turn around and find another track

    as for the motor bikes, well thats just asking for trouble

    I couldn't believe some of the halfwits interviewed....." we like to come here and have fun, but no-one told us it was dangerous.......there should be signs up or something....."

    More people who wont take responsibility for their own actions.

    Yep I saw the news segment on Nine. I thought it was hilarious some of the things they said such as what you quoted.

    unbelievable isnt it....

    anything to avoid being responsible for their own actions, esp if there is a $ in it for them..

    and the legal eagles are just rubbing their hands with glee....

    It will be the beginning of the end

    Just wait for the fallout from the insurance companies, they will price the liability insurance out of the reach of these parks as they are mostly family run business.

    Firstly the bush is locked up and now the parks will be forced to close, it will never end until the thought/fun police have their way and the idiots who wont take responsibility for their own actions that are helping them all the way.

    The most amazing thing is the one thing that attracts all the riders there is the difficulties/extremism of the tracks and dont all MotorX riders think they are the crusty demons and can jump/ride anything

    Well thats googled all of us in the future, precedent has been set, I have never been to a 4wd park, my insurance won't cover me on private property, however it will cover me across the Simpson desert or Cape York (and there are less idiots there).

    Track Report: In response to expert opinion during the Coroner's inquest we are limiting use at the park. Only tracks 1,2,4 and the junior and adult mini bikes areas will be open. No trail riding or 4wding, no FMX or Mountain MX track. updated 7:45pm Friday 2 MAY 08
    From the Black Duck website - shame... Hope it isn't the first of many.

    Yeah but Dobbo, then you'd struggle to find someone else to blame for any mishap, misjudgment, poor planning, lack of skill, over confidence or stupidity on your part (I mean that in the nicest possible way).

    I mean, its becoming the great Australian way.....make a blunder and find someone to blame. These people that go to these parks and get hurt (200+ was mentioned in one of the reports I saw on the news) and then say...oh bugger, they should have told me/had a sign up/given me training, etc.

    Sorry, I'm ranting, but it gives me the irates.
