The placement of those padded barriers was pretty useless. If they had been placed appropriately her race may not have been over.
I feel inclined to say, so what? Her bike has brakes, she should have used them, But didn’t and crashed out. My point is, there has been a lot of pointing fingers at organisers for unsafe routes and sprints, this is not one of them. It your take chances, know the risk, Sometimes you win, Sometimes you lose.
Still horrible crash, But it was her own fault. If you make mistakes like that and you able to continue and/or win, it’s “too safeâ€
That’s ridiculous. Her injury was much worse than it would have been had the pads been placed correctly.
Were the pads necessary for riders’ safety? Apparently the organizers thought so, but they carelessly put them in the wrong place. The organizers are responsible for the extent of her injury.
