" - - would not have been saved by a dibber/ident but at least a timely search for him would have been mounted."
There is a potentially distressing speculation in the above statement which anyone who attended the inquest will be anxious to correct. This is that any error in race management was a contributory factor in the tragic outcome. The four full days of evidence, including the post mortem, make it quite clear that such a speculation is unwarranted, nor is it made in the Coroner's narrative verdict. The inquest must not be re-run in public.
It's a great pity that this very clear conclusion has been obscured by other deliberations that would be better dealt with quite separately from the very sad tragedy that prompted them.
FRA should now focus on making the safety requirements achievable in practice without hanging a race organiser. It's time that ROs were involved in this process, but outside this open forum, which has usefully provided all the clear pointers needed.
