Simoncelli like Tomizawa

I’ve been very torn since I saw the images and had to decide whether to post the following amateur’s video (after the jump because of the contents) on how Marco Simoncelli’s accident was handled by track side EMT’s at Sepang, because the outcome cannot bring Super Sic back.

My intention, and I think that everyone will agree, that track organizers and Dorna definitely have to do something to raise the professionalism of track side volunteers to ensure proper emergency standards in regards to treating seriously injured riders and how they have to be handled when being moved away from the track.

It seems to me that after the outcry and outrage that followed the way Shoya Tomizawa was transported to the waiting ambulance after his fatal crash during the Misano GP last year, that sadly no one has learned a single lesson from that incident, judging from how Simoncelli was carried away.
The Sepang International Circuit stated :“At the race on Sunday, circuit personnel acted speedily and professionally to attend to Marco as soon as the accident happened.

Despite all that was done, the medical team could not change the outcome of the situation given the severity of his injuries.
” But this doesn’t change the fact that Dorna and track organizers have to step up and take more responsibility.
Dorna spends millions on taking the Grand Prix series around the world to host the events, the races are televised across the globe, they have state-of-the-art onboard cameras, races are promoted in every possible way, but they should spend some of that money they rake in, on teaching and preparing local medical personnel who volunteer their time, on how to move a polytraumtized rider under critical and terrible circumstances.
