|  See...watchin' stuff like this sets me back a day or two when riding 'cause the mental picture is so disturbing (to me). I know it's reality but, damn...y did I watch it  ?

| A result of not paying attention. Happens sometimes. Unfortunately, a couple of guys got seriously injured. Hate to see turnworkers injured like that. It is a TOUGH job, for basically no money. - Nut

| Question is, what was that guy doing on the track in the first place ? Is it just me or did his riding seem squirrily from the get go. When you see him come around from the left you know this guy is going down, just a matter of time, lack of brakes or skill or brains ?
