How do you come to that assessment Lefty? I couldn't based off the evidence.Originally Posted by Lefty
The people who post on here are very much a minority - just a vocal group who are prepared to put their opinions out there whichever standpoint they take.
Even from the posters though there is clearly concern and without doing a head count of views expressed, I would say that it's pretty even on the forum.
I've had informal advise from a practising injury claim lawyer of significant experience - the terms he used were
I'm afraid Richard that the ROs are technically speaking buggered If they fail to follow these guidelines and something goes wrong. The FRA have done their bit leaving the blame squarely with the RO
So whilst the FRA document is "woolly", failure to adhere to it will leave ROs wide open.
His assertion (as he is also an endurance runner and occasional fell runner) which is one shared by others in what you may call mainstream athletics is that Fell Running has got away with it for some times and the only real way for a RO and the FRA to deal with this is to move to risk assessment.
OK that's informal - but if I were to pay for such advise it would be the same, just framed in professional legal speak and probably with a few disclaimers thrown in :/
