Shocking thing to have happened and hope he heals up okay.
The sort of accident that could screw with your head if you let it.
As much as I dislike blind landing jumps I don't see that it was the cause of this accident.
It's easy to think the Bobcat driver was to blame but he could be well thinking what was the rider doing on the track when they asked me to go fix it?
Two sides to every fence.
Communication with the starter and others on the track is often done by flag so signals could be easily misread, although you would think a National event would have had an abundance of radios.
Reminds me of back in the 80's when I was practicing at Broadmeadows motorcycle track, came around a corner down out the back into a bit of a dip and came face to face with a front end loader.
I was lucky to have had the time to brake to avoid the bucket teeth by the skin of my nylons, when I told him if he needed to be out here he should have had someone flag everyone to a stop he told me to F off as he could drive it anywhere he wanted.
I'm sure that place used workers that had to do community service a lot of the time!
