Interesting that you think the burden of proof should be on me that flying a couple litres of kerosene around the sky at 370mph is not obviously unsafe.

I have no doubt the pilot is experienced, and that the area in general is clear.

The burden of proof should be on you, if you want to prove that the flying was irresponsible. That's how that works.

So, the actual argument I made was that just because more people were likely to die from drink driving (probability-wise), it didn't mean flying the RC wasn't shockingly irresponsible.

Note that I didn't agree with the claim that this specific flight was irresponsible, just that the fact that more people might die from drink driving is basically irrelevant.

So no, the burden of proof is not on me.

I carefully noted your original argument. That's why I said that the burden of proof should be on you, if you want to prove that the flying was irresponsible.

He doesn't have any burden of proof, especially not to random people on the internet.

He does have to make sure he flies safely, but that's his concern. Relax and enjoy the show. :-)
