You are doing it AGAIN......
Nobody is saying that we want to ban RISKS. We simply want to ban LUDICROUS risks!
The number of people who KART, multiplied by the number of EVENTS multiplied by the number of times they occur a YEAR makes the death rate in karting a MICROSCOPIC FRACTION of the death rate at the TT! Death rate in karting appeasr to be LOWER than if the driver was simply driving to WORK!!!!!
The bloke (Adam Goatley) died at Buckmore almost FOUR YEARS AGO and there have thus been AT LEAST FORTY EIGHT MEETINGS since that LAST death. When was the last death at the TT...... LAST WEEK, when was the time before that? ....at the PREVIOUS mneeting..... and the time before that.... at the PREVIOUS MEETING ............ and so on for THIRTY F***ING YEARS !
We calculate risks based on the LIKELIHOOD of an event ocurring..... there's simply NO POINT In doing THAT calculation because the NEXT death WILL occur at the NEXT TT MEETING!!!!!
So....answer the DAMNED QUESTION:
Would YOU want the TKM Festival to continue if you KNEW that AT LEAST one of the drivers would be KILLED this year based on the fact that someone had died at EVERY Tkm Festival in the past for the past THIRTY YEARS???????
No you damned well WOULDN'T! No matter HOW great the 'spectacle', you would not TOLERATE that rate IN KARTING........ but you WILL on Bikes!
And that is, frankly, SHAMEFUL of you!
