[Choose #1] Although my heart says no, ZeroVis has a logical point: any sport that requires life support systems is inherenty more dangerous than staying in bed. Even with warning signs that you’re transporting high pressure cylinders, people still cut you off

[Choose #1] When you start thinking that you have enough experience for it no longer to be dangerous, that’s when it becomes VERY dangerous!

[Choose #1] let’s face it, any sport that requires LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT(and it is life support), IS dangerous.
