With the lightweight blizzard discs coming out and knowing the 150g class in asia for safety I was wondering if there might be a movement to make discs safer

I know that there is the flex test and a maximum on thickness of drivers

I am concerned with the ultra high speed discs in ultra hard plastics with masses of weight on the outer rim.....MVP has taken this to another level and I fear there will be a day where technology allows for a disc to have the majority of its weight on the outer rim in a premium plastic. Almost like a Quoit

Anyway I figured it might be interesting to see if there is any practical way to make the discs safer
 
Don't let dumb Asses Throw them! Plain and simple if there is someone even remotely in danger of getting hit DON'T THROW IT!
 
Why? What is the point?? Has there been a bunch of DG deaths that I've missed?? Did someone cut their thumb on an edge? Are you Roger Goodell?
 
I hit a guy With a pro d buzzz from close to 300' away dead center in his spine. I yelled fore as loud as possible three times and he just stood there like an idiot. It made the worst sound ever, like when you pound a steak with a meat tendering hammer, but he was fine.

Years ago, like 13 or 14, when I was a noob I hit my uncle from 350 with a dx viper in the back of his head and he was fine.
 
yeah the trees are fine. IME the trees usually win when a disc goes up against them. I've exploded discs against trees and I swear I heard the tree say "what now bitch!"
 
Some trees get hurt. Some don't. Kind of like people. As Gump says, **** Happens! Move on, close thread. Opti needs a hug.
 
I taken a nebula to the temple from 150'. I used to be smart.... I lost that well before the disc though.
 
LOL I saw some at Home Depot the other day... Figured I wouldnt have to go around the trees with those.
