Let's see how many Temac members know the rules.
This video was appalling from a safety point of view.
Please post your additional comments and I will update the list on this first post.
1) flight line less than 100' from the cars.
2) no flying stations (5 max)
3) did not call a take-off (jet, quads)
4) flying behind the flight line
5)
6)
Flying at TEMAC feels sooooo safe after watching this video.

Flying without fully-charged brains!
Well he did call landing and inquired as to the status of cars on the runway...LOL
Scary part is at 5:46. Guy in white t-shirt has a scuba diving logo on the back of his shirt. So I presume he dives. I can just imagine how much safety comfort this video would provide to his scuba buddy. 8)

But
@Andy Hoffer , he is the
"dive" safety officer, not the "
fly" safety officer. ;D

Of course
@GuyOReilly ! Why didn't I think of that?!! ;D

It's frightening how many videos are out there documenting similarly reckless, dangerous RC behaviour, but then many of these videos seem to originate in a country where it's fairly normal to carry a handgun...
Unfortunately, responsible RCers will be blamed along with the reckless when someone finally gets seriously hurt...
FYI, these guys have Michigan license plates. You can get a good look at 6:06-6:07 at the end of the video. See example below for comparison.

Without even watching the video, the opening frame showing them flying from what appears to be a public road, documenting a violation of MAAC/AMA rules, probably local by-laws and common sense.
Like Frank, I am grateful for MAAC, AMA, and their member clubs for the safe, courteous and fun environments provided for serious hobbyists.
