    Crashing is unfortunately part and parcel of racing. It's going to happen at some point, and some people will go their entire racing lives without it happening, but not all will. That a crash in a race ended up going to court, unless there was some serious negligence, is a bit farcical as surely people know what they're signing up for.

    It's why we can't have nice things anymore, as people don't take responsibility for themselves.

    somewhat related, albeit a different sport:
    Athy RFC facing closure after 140 years of existence
    The future of the 140-year-old Athy Rugby Club is in serious doubt due to the club's difficulty in securing public liability insurance.
    Athy said they are having "grave difficulty" trying to find an insurer because of two claims, one historic and one pending.

    The hardest part of this mess is
    neither of those insurance claims are related to the game, one is from a private social event in the clubhouse, and the other a visiting spectator who slipped while watching a match

    Gym insurances are skyrocketing too as a result of insurance companies leaving the market. Whether they've claimed or not, they're increased by 4 times as much for some.
