3703 < 5000 So I'm not seeing your point. I know one of my wheels is geared close to 7500 rpm. Now, I'm aware I'm not hitting that speed but I'd be willing to bet you that it's well above 3700rpm. And frankly, I don't care if it "should" be safe. I care that it is. I care that teams took some time to put in safe guards to prevent shrapnel hitting people because I'm selfish and I enjoy the use of all of my limbs.
