Imagine how many people DID NOT throw planes -- either due to lack of paper (or running out), mentors telling them not to, or their own personal belief that they should not do so?

Now imagine if FIRST sanctioned airplanes at designated times in some sort of competition, and made this a 'tradition.' How many of the non-throwers would be come throwers? How many more airplanes would there be total? Per person? How many injuries?

I'd rather see FIRST provide a large beach ball in each pit and ask for the planes to stop. (and ask for beach balls to be stopped during matches and speeches, etc.)
