Is any event now safe?
I am at a loss to understand how an event that has seen many deaths over it's history can be canceled by threats of more deaths. The lunatics that compete know that death is a part of their sport and accept it. To cancel this event because of the threats opens up a whole world of pain for all sport followers. |
