diablopilot 2 #51 March 5, 2010 Quote Quote Question. How come a sport like NASCAR does not have a problem like USPA? Its dangerous and their are kids 8-10 racing on there circuits all over this country. Just wondering Because they are professionals. And they all drive in the same direction. Sparky Sir, I am a bit awestruck in the simplicity, yet absolute truth in that statement. Thanks.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

diablopilot 2 #52 March 5, 2010 QuoteI have a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer Instructor Rating. PADI has a legal team that is quite active defending/preventing lawsuits. Every instructor who teaches in the United States is required to get liability insurance through Vicencia and Buckley or you are not allowed to teach a single students. The yearly liability insurance is $588.00. Multiple that by the teaching SCUBA instructors and you see that PADI has really deep pockets and rarely (if ever) loses a lawsuit. This protection helps other agencies (NAUI) because lawyers aren't sniffing around scuba diving fatalaties. PADI has done a tremendous job marketing itself. Because of this, it carries a big stick and can demand that it instructors pay big bucks to be associated with it. USPA - not so much yet. How much are your dues?---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
