I think you might have missed the point of my post - I clearly don't want ignorant, inconsiderate, impatient, folks trying risky things. That was my whole point - when I see someone who just wants to get hunting, and does something unsafe or risky, I do my best to point out the risks to them. I try to speak clearly on the topic, and to ask thoughtful questions, and get them thinking about what they are doing.
What I am discussing is innovation, by smart, thoughtful, and creative folks. Do you think the saddle your butt sits in today is all that different than the one that someone came up with 40 years ago? From a design perspective - it really isn't. The only thing that has changed is quality standards have gotten stricter, and materials have improved. What does this do? Well, it takes a lot of the risk out for folks who don't want to design saddles, they just want to hunt from one. But someone HAD to design the first saddle, and then stick their butt in it. I was saluting those people, who most people try to ignore, silence, or shut down their creativity.
Look at my signature. Look at the hundreds of posts I've made in the last several months pointing out risks, and asking people questions, and getting folks to reevaluate their perspective on safety. It was certainly not my intention, nor do I think someone would gather from that post - that I think some uninformed person should do something out of the box if there's no real point in doing so. But I stand firm in my support of folks figuring out how to make things better. It's the human condition.
