It occurs to me that the time to retire the cannon should be immediately after the first serious injury, not after the second.

 

Prayers to the gentleman who was injured.

Prayers from Morgan County for a speedy recovery

You are 100% correct! :thumb::thumb::thumb:

All I can say is that it will all work out for the best, one way or the other. But there's a lot to this story that will factor into the decision.

We can't help if you are unable to understand these clear analogies.

 

But let me ask you, have you even been to a Highlands game recently?

 

Obviously not.

 

Okay, since you haven't, let me explain to you that neither scenario you mention here are possible with our cannon.

 

You guys simply ignore the obvious. Its a huge liability regardless of where it is located. That's the problem. Tradition be darned if it has the potential to cost someone, like Mr. Roller, serious injury or worse. Its simply not worth it nor is it worth defending.

 

How many people have to be hurt by this before you guys get it? Is three the magic number?

 

Fill in the following sentence to prove to us naysayers that it should be kept: Its worth the risk of serious injury because .......

Fill in the following sentence to prove to us naysayers that it should be kept: Its worth the risk of serious injury because...

...because you don't fully understand the risk level.

...because you don't fully understand the risk level.

 

Really? You're going to try to downplay the risk level after yesterday? Really?

I'm undecided...

 

I love the cannon, but I love the guys on the crew more...

 

I'm praying for Steve and the others daily. Great guys...

I don't have anything more to say to you on this. You don't know all the facts; so it's not going to get us anywhere. And it's not why this thread was started.

Facts? I know the important facts. Steve Roller is in the hospital.

 

Is the cannon worth another Steve Roller?

STOP THE MADNESS!!!

 

 

I say get rid of it... Do something less dangerous like Fireworks.

 

 

 

Um... Or maybe not.

Agreed. :thumb:

No chance. I'm stunned at the depths one will go to defend a darn cannon tradition when it has seriously and permanently injured a member of the community.

 

Use the block feature.

How about a large train horn? That would be safer then a cannon.
