    after this I would imagine a prudent idea.

    Is this the first car-bike fatality? If not, surely one of the worst.

    On average a person dies per week at the Ring. Normally it is a biker. Sad statistic, but nothing out of the ordinary on this challenging track.

    No one let's it happen. All drivers on the ring knows the risk, and are they own their own free will. They are solely responsible for their own well being while on the track.

    they don't? whomever owns the track sure let's it happen. true, drivers assume their own risk; however, it would be more responsble to seperate cars and bikes.

    the ring is actually a public road, and you pay a toll to get on it.

    I'm just repeating a quote somebody once brought up when we were discussing the dangers of the Ring before. Maybe somebody can google it?

    They like to tease us by putting up tents or ropes or something to make us think something cool is going to happen but its going to suck. But this may be the time when something great does come through. There are two tents up :D
