As a slight aside to this specific incident, but nevertheless interesting perhaps.
In recent "round-table" discussions, several leading tech instructors have batted around the idea of asking ALL course candidates to undergo a stress-test prior to participating in CCR classes. The suggestion being that this might serve to save lives.
