    adds more clarity. we have the technology to have even more safety measures. I hope alot is learned from this racing incident. As usual there is a chain of events that led to and completed this incident. When all those links join is when "it" happens.

    It does add some clarity. Ktm Honda and Kawasaki teams all got one device with a sos button. They all decided to attach it to the bike instead of pass it off from one rider to the next baton style.

    I kind of have to wonder if on one hand the article states it takes a million dollar effore but on the other hand it seems they don't disclose what kind of animal hair was stuck near the radiator.

    one person notices a "SPOT" hasn't moved for 45 minutes, but doesn't say anything

    another finds him, but doesn't know of the SOS button

    hmmm...

    shouldn't everyone involved with the race get some basic training of the SPOT in a pre-race safety meeting

    Very well written story. Helpful to understand more of the details.
