The race tracks are laid out so that when they do come off their bikes they slide for a long distance before coming to a stop. Much different than being slammed into a curb, another vehicle, or a lightpost. Anyway, just an observation. I wonder what the forensics report actually said? It's not really important, I guess. Dead is dead.
Yup not important to you who is dead or not. As for professional motorcycle racers not getting killed, what are you on about? Obviously you don't follow any professional events.
Killed in top level racing. Let alone the thousands of other professional events held where people die.
