First rule of racing: NEVER STOP!

You always obey the flags that the marshals hold out, as they are under race control so will know about everything that is happening, not just in the 6 feet of tarmac you are on. Should you stop, you become a target for the next guy leaping through the wall of fire. Now you have two accidents...

There is no flag to stop competitors either. A red flag means that the *race* has been stopped, but that doesn't mean that you actually stop riding. You reduce your speed and await further instructions, being prepared to stop on the circuit *if* directed to do so. Marshals are posted within sighting distance of each other, so someone would have seen it and been able to deal with it.

Ultimately, this guy was through so quickly that even trying to stop would have covered a big distance (at 150mph+) so going back to help wouldn't have made much difference. As a rider you're probably not trained in first aid either, so it's best left to the professionals. On my first race out I couldn't even keep count of the number of laps I had done as I was concentrating so hard on riding as fast as possible!

Personally I'm surprised he slowed down as much as he did...

That's cool...but why doesn't he stop?! At least to tell some of the orange jackets that there's been a horrible crash!

You're welcome!

Thank you for the offer but if I decide the shipping is worth it I'll just have one of my brothers do it. It's kind of weird that sometimes when I check on that link it's out of stock and other times it's not. I guess they must sell a lot of that bored. (I could see why)

EDIT:
Is that really you?!? Daaaayyyuuum! I mean...you're a purdy lady!

They sent it to me, and I sent it to you?

Hi, Gale!

Do you have 'undeadening' powers?
This vid is so purdy but it went to the dead pool. The embed seems to be working for me (but you know us noobs!)

That last guy with the purdy Target shirt is probably a member on here. Kind of seems like he would be, huh?


Please don't besmirch my target shirt. I won it at target.

Damn! Why do my quotations always do this?

Hear, hear!

Great quote, kymbos!

"Lone, mentally-ill vermin". With deference to @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/bareboards2" title="member since July 3rd, 2009" class="profilelink"><strong style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0);">bareboards2, I'll quote Stephen Budianski:
"For as long as I can remember, I have heard conservatives blaming everything that is wrong in the universe, from violent crime to declining test scores to teen pregnancy to rude children to declining patriotism to probably athlete's foot... upon Dr. Spock, Hollywood liberals, the abolition of prayer in school, Bill Clinton, the "liberal 1960s," the teaching of evolution — in other words, upon symbols, rhetoric, cultural norms, and the values expressed by political and media leaders. Yet from the moment when someone gets a gun in their hands, apparently, society ceases to have any influence whatsoever on the outcome and individual responsibility takes hold 100%. Something is driving the tripling of death threats against congressmen (and the concomitant rise in threats against Federal judges and other villains of the right, from Forest Service rangers to climate scientists) and it isn't the sunspot cycle."
