[pct-l] Safety Concerns at Gear Presentation

[cmkudija at earthlink.net (cmkudija@earthlink.net)]

Switchback,

Just make sure you tell your facilitator and hall monitor to be on alert for
fainting spells, sub-high-altitude sickness, palpitations, inappropriate
sweating, chills, fever, spontaneous bone fracture or limb dislocation, and
report all incidents to L-Rod, Trailfest Committee Chair Supreme!  :)

and unless I'm otherwise occupied, I'm bringing myself and the 12" stainless
steel rod in my right tibia along to your session!

TIC,

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached its top.  Then
you will know how low it was.

Subject: [pct-l] Safety Concerns at Gear Presentation

I was thinking (again) that may be  we should have a safety warning for the
PCTA Trail Fest gear presentation  Saturday.  There are some pretty
astounding
things that are going to happen  there.

May be some people cannot handle  it.  May be we should be a little more
safety oriented.  May be there  should be a screening process on who is
allowed
in.  Perhaps only hard core  mountainmen and mountainwomen.  Folks we think
can
handle it.  We  could stamp people's wrist with pair of old hiking boots
symbol to show they are  okay to be there.

We could also have a sign over the  double door to the presentation room
that
says, "Warning.  Only hard core  gear heads/weenies and those without any
heart or other medically inhibiting  conditions allowed in."

I do not want to be discriminatory,  but I also want to be responsible too.
I do not want anyone to start to CD  on us during our presentation.  (CD =
Circling the Drain or when you start  to checkout to the big trail in the
sky.)
