i raced bikes for some time many years ago going as fast as 8.0 and that stuff is just scary. seems i remember hearing they lost two prostock riders on the same lap at one track, i believe they both slid under the bottom rail. that stuff just seems like velcro for machines, once touched it pulls stuff in and shreds itself and the car.

i think every racer gets a knot in their stomach seeing things like this, whether you know the person or not he is a brother.
