I believe this was the worst MotoGP crash I've ever seen. This may be especially hard on Colin Edwards, it appeared that he ran right over Marco. Not his fault, it couldn't be helped.

This was a perfect storm. Very sad. RIP Marco. Lets not forget about Dan....

Have any questions been raised about problems with helmet tech that would allow for it be seperated like that? Maybe staps that are wider or are secured to the suit?
