FC Wrote:I may be wrong but I seem to remember that the ACU had a clause in the entries application that a rider could not take legal action in the event of an injury. This clause is illegal and is against human rights, I also feel that it would be the situation in this case. If he does take legal action he will certainly win.

Refering to the widow considering legal action.
A much longer headline article about this ladies intentions appeared on the 4th August 08 in our local Eastern Daily Press and was repeated that night on Anglia Television News so someone is seeking maximum media coverage.What annoys me in both articles was the repeated reference to the organisers not showing or giving any help to the bereaved as I know this to be untrue and both personnel and financial help was given.
If the news media is to make these statements they should have the decency to check out the allegations with the people involved and listen to the other side of the story.I was tempted to get in touch with the Press over this article and give them the contacts in the Isle of Man who they should speak to.
I hope our taxes ar'nt providing legal aid
