Back a year ago a new rider to the motocross sport was riding on his favorite track he was only 16 at the time...When he had fallen on a part of the track where riders can't see. It was after a table top and a double in a blind spot to the riders doubling it. He had fallen and was ok until another rider landed on top of him crushing his helmet and fracturing his skull. My personal friend who runs the flight part of Carolina's Medical center had sent out a life support helicopter in hope to retrieve this young soul in time to help his life. Due to the serious injuries he did not last over 5 days in the hospital due to serious brain injuries. He will be missed but the thing that was missed the most were the flag men...where were they? Good question. It was the day before a big event in which the track always has a practice event. There should have been a flagman for every few turns. But there was only 2-3 flagmen for a 1.5 mile MX track. Terrible story but the worst part is a young fellow that was pinned under his bike not able to move for an approaching rider if there was a flagman there, the rider may not have landed on this 16 year old...He may have hit him but not landed directly on his head. I'm sure this rider who hit him has to live with this guilt for the rest of his life but also knowing that it was not just his fault.
