Sounds like a bunch of wives on here being worried when their husbands go riding. And we say, we’ll be careful don’t worry. This can be a dangerous sport and will bite you hard when ever it chooses to. I’ve had to dig friends out and I have a feeling muskoka will have to eventually also.
Look at the sleds we are riding. To push the sled or ourselves we are getting very deep into danger zones, well beyond what is safe. We know that packing our gear before we leave. It is up to us to have the best gear and training to mitigate the risks we are WILLINGLY taking to insure a safe return. Let's not kid ourselves on what we do and where we go, just make sure we minimize the exposure of the risk tolerance we take. Shat ya I regularly play outside of what is safe, BUT minimize the exposure and have mitigation for spotting and rescue within and outside of the team before you point uphill and pull the trigger.
Let's not question Matt for doing what 99% of us regularly do. If we run our turbo, NA or that most awesome 9R to its limit and have to loop out, well, we have long since crossed that safe line. Just make the best remaing choices when crossing it.
