Very into safety theatre, ignorant to actual safety.

The apparent lack of care assigning such a (hopefully) important position worries me. Yes, teams should strive to always keep safety best practices in mind, but having good role models at competitions (especially for lower income teams) seems like it should be a higher priority.
Then again, I'm sure being a VC is hard enough without handpicking safety advisors.
