I feel for Edwards and Rossi... and wait for the fingerpointing investigation
into why the helmet came off.

Apply the right amount of pressure in the right spot and anything is
possible. I would take a guess that it wasn't the result of the helmet
coming off, but the force of the impact which caused the helmet to come
off which caused his injuries, and that the result probably would have
been the same even if his helmet had stayed on.

I'll bet the post-qualifying Jorge v Simoncelli press conference from
Estoril gets a few reruns.

bt: I've seen a properly fastened helmet come off a rider while performing
high speed gymnastics in the gravel trap at turn 1 at PI

Estoril gets a few reruns.

I think it was smashed by one of the other bikes. Probably took a lot
of the impact but they only do so much.

I feel for Edwards and Rossi also. The whole sport is feeling somewhat
empty at this time.

No. I taped it and watched it about 10:30 with no idea what was about to
happen. Even disregarding the helmet it was a pretty horrific crash. He
was just completely limp after the impact.

Not that Edwards or Rossi had any control over the outcome but
regardless they're going to feel like it was their fault somehow.

A dreadful day all around.

Certainly was, I thought that Simmoncelli would have become a world class
winner

He was a 250cc world champion. How much "world class" did he need to
become?
