Suddenly, people have decided that they are a serious risk to life and limb and must be stopped......
Not me Tourist. The only reason I brought up the loss rate was to counter an earlier claim (can't remember who made it) that suggested that the Reds were so safe as to negate any risk.

Personally I love watching the Reds, and the 'danger' (real or perceived) certainly adds to the excitement. The only difference between our two standpoints appears to be that I can see why the MoD no longer thinks it is a good idea to performing such routines above populated towns, while you do not.
