[QUOTE=snohawk;21383]We have to remember that none of these incidents are accidents. They are all [B]crashes[/B] because the operator of the sled was driving too fast for their own abilities or the setup on the sled.

It is my understanding that insurance companies look at the sled displacement (cc) to determine a baseline rate. Thus with the new 4-strokes being over 1000 cc the rates are sky rocketing.
