i know alot of mxer's that broke thier backs and came back, doug henry for 1. my cousin broke 2 vertebre, he's racing again.. but they didnt sue the race promoter, they were welcomed back!
 
I'm frustrated that folks choose to comment either way regarding both of these individuals when there is pending litigation and none of you know the specifics of the lawsuit, much less why things must be done a certian way. It's safe to say poor Mike isn't the only one named in the lawsuit, and it's also safe to say unless you've walked a mile in Trace's shoes you have no clue what he's dealing with.

It's my personal feeling (from experience) that websites allowing threads where comments are made on pending litigation items open themselves up for possible legal probelms, so I'd bet that's why the thread was pulled from PWCtoday. Can't say for sure as I resigned over there a couple of months ago, but I do know that was the course taken when Mr. Kenney was injured.

Is it a personal feeling or you have experience running a site that got sued over people discussing something that happened?

Looks like you got to throw your comment in there too.

Lisa, This was at a race. Accidents happen, "IF" there is a lawsuit. It is crap. That is like suing your engine builder because your engine let go during a race........

You accept any and all risk when you pull up to that rubber band.

In any sanctioned event I've been around, you signed a waiver AND had to provide proof of coverage meeting their requirements before you were even able to sign in. This is in Canada mind you but I thout CYA was universal?

I spoke with Mike earlier. Not gonna go into details. But the fallout from this cannot be good........ If I was a promoter, you can bet that I would be thinking about a new career now.

Thats what I've been afraid of..... that could happen...
Hopefully things will work out better than that.
