I mean, doesn't that come down to acceptable risk for the instructor? Obviously you don't want it to happen at all.

But if you're going to be an instructor for new track drivers, especially on a course that is especially challenging for a beginner (think Laguna Seca or Sonoma with walls and shit), then you're probably at least prepared for that possibility.

And I would think that an instructor would know how to ease a beginner in (I guess it depends on which HPDE group, Hooked on Driving did okay by me).
