Tyler, interesting post.

Although, you are not specific about your question(s) on the
investigation of the lap belts on Dale Earnhardt's death, one point has been brought up?

"Not just sr.s there are a ton of racers out there that cannot or were told not to race anymore due to deterioration of neck vertebra clearly caused by either one big or several tumbles and impacts where the head is tossed around"

(1) I personally feel Sr was driving hurt...ie.. meaning he had injuries
where he knew one more "hit, like that and he would die"!

(2) I personally have sustained injuries during jumping on skates
where I have torn up my knees. I knew to continue to skate
on it, would be taking great chances where if I fell on it again
I would never be able to walk normally.

a) You take the risk because you want to skate and in
Earnhardt's death he wanted to race and knew the risks.

They were devastating and it took his life.

(3) Also Earnhardt died doin' something he never did. "Blocking"
other competitors so his son and teammate, Michael
Waltrip could win.

(4) Other factor were the seat belts and placement there of.


(5) Bottom line Nascar needed and Escape goat, maybe even
to cover up thier negligence and lawsuits for letting Earnhardt
race and the rules regarding safety of thier drivers.

(6) They blamed Simpson to protect their own soles.

a) Can you blame them? I will let you decide.

Sincerely,

Larry Otani:action-smiley-049:
