You only have to look at Isle of Man TT racing. Every year since it started on average 2 people die every event. Professionals and joy riders alike but in no way has this stopped the event from continuing each year. It is about the only sport where men can still be men. I'm just a bit sick of the pc rubbish we have to put up with these days. A guy gets a scratch and everyone has a panic attack. Just let the guys get on with.

You obviously aren't the one who is in danger.
Go back to the days before F1 was made safer?
Look at the deaths, of great champions,
Jim Clarke Wolfgang Von Tripps Gill Vilnouve,ect
I think if you ask the teams and drivers,they will say they are happy with the safety regs.
Sir Jackey Stewart has been at the fore front of safety in F1 and I bet he would be in favour of the new regs.
BTW this is not the first time cars have been released without the wheel being secured properly, so now is the time to make sure that there is little chance of this happening again.
As for the TT,that is a different kettle of fish, they ride on public roads and no amount of safety regs can make up for rider error.
Take Moto GP they have great safety regs and few deaths.
Cheers
