Word within the industry is that polytrack is dangerous for riders because you stick when you fall instead roll/slide like on dirt. This makes the impact alot harsher. Possibly that is the approach?

I dont care what surface you land on it hurts , if a horse lands on top of you and you dont break something then you are very lucky. Hitting anything at 35 to 40 mph is not good esp when the only protection you have is a bucket on your head and pads on your chest and back.
Its a bs lawsuit ......
