The world of motorcycle sport in England was shocked by the violence of the images after the massive hanging which concerned 11 pilots of the British championship Supersport during the round of Oulton Park. Unfortunately, two pilots lost their lives there, Owen Jenner, 21, and Shane Richardson, 29, while Tom Tunstall, 47, is heavily injured with cervical fractures.
This is the kind of accident that all motorcycle sports practitioners fear: mass hanging. This Monday, May 05, in Oulton Park, for the round of the British Supersport Championship, the pilots set off on the traced technique and just after the departure, pilots hung on at the end of the first turn. A violent clash that projected several pilots on the ground and concerned no less than 11 motorcycles. Several pilots were injured and two of them were fatally affected: Owen Jenner 21 years old and Shane Richardson 29 years old. A third pilot, Tom Tunstall, 47, was taken care of with severe lesions to the cervical vertebrae and his prognosis is very serious.
Fortunately, fortunately, rarely fatal and continuous improvement in safety and safety equipment have been very rarely improved, have largely contributed to lowering serious accidents. Rare fatal accidents are often consecutive to clashes and pilots that are rolled on it. The integrated airbag has also largely contributed to reducing the most serious injuries in the chest and, if we take the example of the last 24 hours motorcycle, more than 200 falls were identified on the race (with precarious adhesion, this explaining this) and there were very few injured. The editorial staff of Moto Station naturally thinks of the relatives of the pilots who disappeared in this accident of the very high and committed English championship.
