Having been through the Tryton saga, Zip and Martin Hines are not top of my christmas card list but I really think you are getting a bit ridiculous with your suggestions/accusations.

At the moment no one has provided solid evidence that the Zip nose cone is more dangerous than any others. I agree that the number of incidents justify further investigation.

Most cadet nose cones are between 95 and 100 cm long and the regulation for the flat section only requires it to be 25 cm - about a quarter of the total length.

If you are heading for a kart that has spun there is a fair chance that you will try to steer to avoid a head-on crash and that could easily mean that you miss the regulation flat section and hit towards the sides - these could be ramp shaped and legal. Are you certain that it is only karts that hit a Zip that have flipped?

Your implication that Zip would try to cover up a more dangerous problem is starting to sound like a manic rant against the company and detracts from the sensible approach taken by Joanne of starting a petition to support any `evidence' available.
