I remember when we marshalled at Combe many years ago, rider died at old paddock used to be in RAF at Lyneham. he was dead at the track but airlifted to hospital and we were all informed that he died on the way to hospital. this way they could keep the races going instead of having to call it off and spoil spectators day.
on the other hand while marshalling at Culham MX a rider fell and was killed. this time races were called off and police came in and took our statements.
difference ? both were National events run by the ACU, 3-4000 spectators against 1500 . how do you value a riders life against profit?

Yep they never expire on the track.
