Too sad. Feels like it been a really rough patch of rider injuries and fatalities... Since they Guild started keeping records officially after WWII, the average fatality rate for riders is 2 per year, and that is just race riders in the afternoon. When you think about it, it doesn't sound like many given the work, but if you really think about it you realize it's horrific given the entire number of professional race riders in North America. I don't know how any of them do it, mornings and/or afternoons, in the face of the peril that is an instant away at every moment. Amazing.

I agree completely with Steve.
