Default 2005 Junior Worlds Accident

Life is a risk Don. The Human race advances by taking
risks. Everday you get up in the morning Don you take
a risk. Sometimes the risks don't pay off and you end
up injured or dead. If your not aware of them Don
- then educate yourself to them - no amount of hiding
behind laws and rules will take the risks away.

Unfortunately both the pilot and Mr Lawson took risks
that resulted in his death - (please don't bleat on
about how he was an innocent bystander he wasn't and
he increased the risk to himself by his actions). I'm
not saying it was entirely Mr Lawson's fault - nor
the pilot's. You are.

Now please provide the statistics to say that competition
racing finishes are inherently more dangerous to so
called 'innocent bystanders' than you driving your
car on a public highway.
