Those girls were very lucky. There could have been dreadful consequences if the Bike had hit them. Anyone know how the Rider is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

False dawn 2,294 Posted September 17, 2017 The real point is that the bike appeared to be under power for several seconds after the rider had fallen off. This cannot be if the cut out is working correctly. An interesting near miss could have been a tragic accident to those girls and the other official that was nearly collected. When I was racing you had to demonstrate that a cut out worked correctly under scrutineering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted September 17, 2017 I thought engines cut out once the safety cord was detached. Or did he not have it round the wrist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can see the cord attached to the rider's wrist as he lay on the track after the accident. The cut out didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,937 Posted September 17, 2017 It does maybe show the folly of having unneccesary individuals on the centre green.No real need for them to sit there.They could get off the track via the starting gate door like the cameraman the other day should have...... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted September 17, 2017 Watching it again, it seems the bike "interfered" with the something around the start area which looks like it threw it off a course that looks like it would have hit those girls full on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
