Maybe this incident, fairly minor in this case, will teach us how we can stop this from happening in the future, making this sport even better. Events like this cause people to discuss what can be done to prevent this from happening again. Even after a close call, I still love it!!!!!!īad for the Sport? Not really.Yes it was Bad that it happened, but it is really bad when people are not aware of what can happen even when they think they have all the bases covered with Safety equipment. It's dangerous people, no two ways about it!!!! To sit close enough for any enjoyment, you're in the danger zone. Pieces flew dangerously far enough from the track that where they landed, you could barely see the action. I go to pulls and sit by the track, had a tractor a few years back explode the trans with shrapnel 2 feet from my head. You just dont hear about life threatening football injuries as much because people expect it more from that. People, this is'nt like taking your family to the skating rink, bad things can happen here in pulling as with any motorsport.

But its funny no one worries about these things till they happen. Not trying to sound unsympathetic at all, my utmost condolences go out to the family. Whenever something like this happens there are always people trying to move everyone miles back from the track or put up a steel wall in front of the track. By going to a pull or race or whatever there is always a chance of something bad happening. Please do not get me wrong on this, I hate to see anyone get hurt especially a child. This is why most locations make you sign an insurance waiver. By standing or allowing your child to stand in harms way basically you are consenting to allow bad things to happen.
