As a professional myself, I'd tell you (as many others already have) that Kim was crashing with or without that sand bag. And I can tell you many, many people (including myself) have hit much, much worse on a run out, without crashing.

Could we say that the sandbag contributed to the severity of the accident? Quite possibly. Maybe probably. But it certainly did not cause the accident. Not even a remote stretch of the imagination could make it so. The cause of the accident is quite clearly Mr Kim running off the race track in a manner that was consistent with a crash. As I said below, he blew it. He blew it. He blew it long before he left the racing surface. And the moment he left the racing surface, he determined he was going to crash. You can see it in his failure to control the motorcycle on the asphalt, and his continued failure to control the motorcycle in the runoff. He blew it. He did it.

Our local Audi Club in response to this now requires that you go to the drivers meeting to get your wristband to get on track, whereas before they were given out at registration. Also you must go to the first download session after your run group to get a ticket to get on track for the rest of the day.

Our club has started handing out tech stickers for attending the driver's mtg.

NASA has a good system for handing out a chip after a mtg to get on the track for the next session. However, NASA lets some sketchy cars onto the track - at least in the few events they've hosted that I've attended.
