No Limits trackday fatality at Mallory on Friday

Post by duke63 »

There isn't really a safe place to ride bikes. Get it wrong and shit can hit the fan very easily. RIP.

No Limits bulletin:

It's with a heavy heart we are tasked to announce that unfortunately there was a incident last Friday 29th September at Mallory Park which resulted in a very unusual situation where there was a loss of a life.

A highly skilled member of the Kiddieminster Advanced Bikers and known customer Chris Pagett, was taking part on our trackday in middle group in perfect conditions. On that afternoon 58 year old Chris had simply slightly over ran the circuit at John Cooper Esses and on to the grassed area which caused him to slide off his Aprilia RSV4 Tuono. Unfortunately then Chris slid back on to the circuit and was collected by another bike despite the riders best attempt of avoiding action.
Paramedics attended the scene within moments and a helicopter was requested to ferry the injured rider to hospital. Sadly on arrival to hospital Chris lost his life due to injuries sustained while taking part in activity that Chris was so passionate about.
We apologise that we delayed announcing any facts until we had express consent from Chris's wife as we wished not to cause any further distress to Suzi or Chris's family.

No limits and it's staff wish to convey our sincere deepest heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Chris's wife, Suzi their son, family and friends at this extremely sad and heart breaking time.

RIP fella, always sad to hear of a rider losing their life.

Trackday deaths are fortunately very rare, the only ones I’ve heard of all involve an impact to the rider from another bike, please be careful folks.

Awful news, never think it will be you, especially on a trackday :( Thoughts with family and friends
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...
