Rosco at the end of any given meeting the bastards have snapped at least a dozen of the post in half (and then they are a bit iffy )
The broom sticks wouldn't last practice
In the event of somone getting impaled on a stake there is a procedure to be followed.
1. Call ambulance
2. Remove riding gear and dress rider in casual clothes.
3. supply injured person with as much alchohol as they require to numb pain .
4. Carefully carry injured person out to roadside
4a. Lay injured person at road side with Bicycle ( an incident bicycle is mandatory at all Kiwi vmx meetings)
5.Keep person comfartable and keep supplied with beer and girlie mags & back copies of VMX mag
6. When medical help arrives nominated witness explains how the poor bastard was cycling past the paddock and slowed to watch some quality VMX racing, when some errant Bloody tourist probably Asian or German cleaned him up.
7. Accompany injured Cyclist to hospital and arrange visiting roster and organise help where needed.
8. Call Cyclist family and advise of incident and offer assistance and sympathy were needed
This system seem to work ok and avoids all that unessercery paperwork and bad press about Motorcycling
