Concussions and Protecting Our Players

[The Ghost of Raelene]

We pester our kids to get off the screen and get outside and this what they end up doing? Fuck me, release GTA 6 already.

More trauma from this, Vaping or Smirnoff Red in a random suburban park on a weekend?

Interestingly 20% of voters (out of roughly 10,000) on that website do think the Run It Straight competition should be allowed to proceed.

You know what an actually interesting event would be - work with the top CTE doctors around the world to come up with what kind of uniform and protective equipment is required to ensure zero damage to the brain or body.

Then have two blokes dressed like the Michelin man run at each other.

The 2000 that voted yes should be automatically be signed up to the nearest event. We need to purge these creatures or at least keep a log for WW3

Those bubble suits. Saw a vid of a bloke getting hit by a car in one and go into orbit. Seemed alright.

Looks like the organisers expected to just rock up to the park & do whatever:

"Auckland Council confirmed to Local Democracy Reporting that Williams Park was council-owned, and no application for an event permit or booking was received."

Event permits typically incur costs for things like traffic management/ temporary road closures plus you've got to provide toilets, security & possibly have medics on site. If they couldn't be arsed doing any of that fuck 'em.
