The point from many

I respectfully disagree.
Hundreds/Dozens of people went down the track with no problems at all.
Tourists could be strapped to a pro (ala a tandem skydive) for $200 and
those people were hitting 150kph.
I feel awful for this man, his family and respect the courage of his
countrymen to be in the parade of athletes. However, this track was
faster than *HIS* brain/body could handle, not all of the others who
were incident free.
A track was designed for top speeds of 160+kph and I would lay blame
with the officials for not opening the track up for practice sooner.
