Looks like a bit of inexperience..  Sorry you were hurt and hope you get better soon.

Anything can happen at any time, I wish him a speedy recovery, I know what 5 broken ribs feel like.

I do have one observation, just before the crash as David is well into the cornor, I see the flagman for that end of the track with his back to to David, looks as if he was watching the leader? Life is full of "What ifs" What if David had gone to the inside and struck the flagger from behind? I know you guys run your own rules, but take it from someone who has been there, the flaggers need to be out of the middle of the track, from the outside they can see the complete track, inside you are limited and have to constantly look over your shoulder.

Not trying to be critical here, I just don't want to see anyone else hurt.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Robert last year.  They are a race team that takes turns riding their shared mower and are some of the nicest guys I have met in this sport.  I wish Dave a speedy recovery and I hope to race against you sometime soon! It kind of looks like the tires caught the grass edge and then it went over?  It's hard to tell at the angle of the video.  Do you guys know if the mower landed on him or did he stay on the mower the whole time without flying off?
