I'm not fond of Quidditch. The only games I've ever seen are the ones held at school, and even then I don't stick around for very long. I just don't see the appeal. I suppose it could be entertaining, if you find sparrows quarreling over bread crumbs to be entertaining.

Can't we do that without resorting to possible violence?

[arrogantalloy]

Because flying on a broom in the real world isn't violent at all, I'ts all bubble wrapped and harnessed up.

Really when you think about it, I'd say it's actually safer to test limits on brooms with quidditch.

[couldbehealer]

I suppose if you looked at it that way.

Couldn't they create a controlled environment to test brooms in? Or is Quidditch what they'd consider controlled.

[arrogantalloy]

Well, they are all tested before their sold for obvious reasons. But quidditch is the closest you could get to real world conditions without actual death being involved, and it can also help test sleeps in action where there are unexpected turns, collisions, stuff like that. It's all good data really.

More controlled than flying it at a troll or something like that. Because quidditch is all about flight control and reactions. Perfect for broom testing.

I don't know many instances in the real world where I would need to be concerned about objects flying at me

[arrogantalloy]

You never know, and quidditch makes sure that we have very safe brooms to fly in case we do have things flying at us.

Also, you know prepares us for accidentally flying into a bird.
