Something you neglected to share with us Mutha??

Sounds like a movie title.... "Your Mutha was an alien".
But, on a more serious note : I have spent a lot of time at Road Warriors over the years and have been called out to scrape people off the road many times... or seen them wobble in with bits hanging off.... or worse. Sometimes (but rarely) it is the experienced guys - the ones we know - who go just that bit hot and mess it up. But its not often and thankfully, they are usually fully suited and survive to tell the tale. Yes, we do hoot for stunters - but only the professional ones (there are a few well known pro stunters up there) but the idiots don't get encouragement. The squids (thongs, t-shirt and shorts brigade) are left in no doubt how stupid the rest of us think they are. Often because we tell them. I was there once when an idiot father rolled in with his 8 y.o on the back dressed in a track suit and gum boots. He copped it so bad he called his wife to come pick the kid up.
I think Rev once summed it up nicely.... "Natural selection".
