I would remove the pic of his head getting ran over, you might get another infraction

Not surprised he died after seeing that. Though I did find the added music on that vid a bit distasteful.
F1 may be a bit bland compared to other racing but at least it's a lot safer.
These things are tragic but it's to be expected. You can only make them so safe, especially something like Moto GP.

Didn't watch it voice on. I replaced the previous video, because youtube had removed the vid for w/e reason. prob copyrights.

That motorcycle racing always looked crazy dangerous when the they're going around turns and stuff. Sucks.

The thing that left me wondering was... how did his helmet slip off his head. Usually that is what protects you quite well when something hits ur head.

A helmet is only to save you from your head hitting the floor, not other bikes riding over it.. =/. Moving back towards the topic. That's so sad I hope this doesn't damage MotoGP's reputation too much. Though i'm not the biggest motor-racing fan I was a massive valentino rossi fan.

This is so sad and the worst part is that MotoGP could be said that is at its safest, only thing I could think of making it safer is given the bickers some sort of armored suit like this but it would come with who knows how many problems.
