M.4 Physical Damage
An example of physical damage is:
• real damage to either boat or crew
Examples of what is not physical damage are
• capsize with no damage, causing a loss of places
• rigs or lifelines entangled
M.5 Serious Injury
An example of serious injury might be an injury that required medical attention
beyond minor aid, but not necessarily hospitalization.
M.6 Other considerations when taking testimony.
Testimony concerning the extent of the damage is often not confirmed or
supported by other evidence. Although mobile phone cameras have made
things much better, a thorough protest committee would send two or more of
its members to inspect the damage before deciding the protest or request for
redress.
