He blew it.

Having attended hundreds of track days all over the country, and hosted dozens of them myself, and taught at many, many sport bike track-day schools as well, I fall back to the perspective that we all take when we swing our leg over that bike at the racetrack: We all understand the risk. We understand the responsibilities. We see the waiver that we sign as a mere formality, to reinforce what we all already know: which is that if we blow it, it's on us, as individuals.
No one made us blow it.
No one forced us to be there to begin with.
We all understand our health insurance is likely to deny claims. We all understand the risks. And the responsibilities.
All of us, it seems, except Daniel Kim.

Ding! 100% can't actually believe this is a discussion. WE take the risk... knowingly, willingly. That should end the discussion right there. If I were to eat a rock off the side of the road because of my mistake (in my sportbike days) is that the state, and local muni's responsibility? Nope...
