Chris, I agree 100% with your statement. We also minimize the number of cars per mile in order to avoid metal to metal contact. I have seen at close to a dozen car on car contacts over the years, but most were with other clubs and other regions of PCA. Part of the draw for DE is the adrenaline/risk. I see it as similar to rock climbing: You can climb with a rope in case you miss a hand hold. Yes, you can fall and get hurt, but the more preparation you make and safety gear you bring, the less likely you will fall far.
