Eventing Rider Death
Yet another experienced eventing rider has died in recent months in an eventing competition fall. I don’t know what can be done to prevent such fatal accidents but am always very saddened by them.
I recently saw a horrendous high speed racing car accident at the Canadian Grand Prix and was sure the driver would be seriously injured but thankfully he has fully recovered within a couple of weeks. This is another very dangerous sport but one where there have been great strides forward in terms of driver safety in recent years. I know there are many differences between the two sports but believe there must be a way to reduce the risks to eventing riders. I hope that someone comes up with a solution soon.
