I'm not sure if my examples here are a completely applicable in this case but the way I see it is that Nascar fans generally like the danger of the sport, and the chance that a big crash or pile up can happen is a big part of the draw to these types of races. Yet the safety of these races just keep getting better and better, protecting these drivers and protecting against major incidents and they haven't lost any fan base because of that. Officials at Nascar don't cater to what people want to see at the expense of drivers lives yet people still want to watch. Boxing and MMA have a long way to go for making the sport safer but they still call the fights before people actually get knocked out these days--they still have an audience (boxing is hurting i know)

I know there are certain niches that can't have this... doing an internal scene or facials etc would pretty much nix all that but I think attempts can still be made for the majority of sites and it could make things safer at the end of the day.

just my opinion anyway...
