Vanquish Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I was talking about this in another forum I post on. Its a terrible loss and really brings home the danger of motorsport. I can only wish Michael's family my best wishes and my condolences for their loss. May Michael Park rest in piece and hope that he passed away doing what he enjoys ... rallying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommiegunz Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Rest in Peace. This shows that safety is never up-to-date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dup Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Rest in Peace.This shows that safety is never up-to-date. You can never have 100% safety. The fact that they didn't both die is a testament to excellent safety. Crashing any car at 80+mph into a stationary object is going to casue some seriuous injury and is more likely to casue death. An old aqauintance of mine went thought the death of his father who died in a rallying accident and there, both driver and co-driver died. His father was the co-driver and it was a very similar accident. News about it here We cant sit here and shun the safety of the sport. The competitors drive for the love, the thrill and the safety risk is what makes the sport what it is. Rallying ig the greatest driving feat and not just anyone can climb into a car and set off down a dirt track at blinding speed. We should sit here and salut Michael Park and fellow competitors for their spirit, their bravery and their contribution for their own and spectators thrill and satisfction. It's a sad loss but such is life and this is what it's all about. It really shows you how dangerous any sport can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
