Do I think this was unsafe? Yes. Do i ask everyone here not to drive their car because a drunk driver might be on the road tonight? no. Could the drink i be drinking right now be spiked with poison? Possibly. There's always a risk, this carried a greater one then others. But I fail to see the significance in telling him he was stupid when we should be happy he's ok. There have been stupider things done in robotics than this (for anyone on my team reading this, LIKE PUTTING A BATTERY WITH FRAYED WIRES ON THE ROBOT) Personally, I think it looks like fun, and judging by the picture and what he said, I'd say at this time he wasn't some freshman riding the robot, but a senior or a graduate that knew the risks. He seems to recognize the robot's center of gravity quite well, so i for one applaud him on taking many of the nesacarry saftey measures.
