Racers worried about new 35 rule?

Do you think that the new FIS rule for the 12/13 gs season to increase the radius from 27 to 35 will make the sport more dangerous instead of making it safer. Personally I believe making the shape of the ski less aggressive will just force the racers to be more aggressive and put more strain on the knees.

    As a racer, i think it is not only dangerous but completely ridiculous that they are changing the radius to 35. It's going to change the whole sport, from someone who is a technical skier to somebody who can wash out their tails and get down the mountain fastest, ignoring technique! Its SO RIDICULOUS!!
