In Aragon, when Fabio Quartararo had his heavy fall after catching Marc Marquez, his suit opened once he was on the ground. A serious situation clearly putting the integrity of the pilot in great danger and it is all the more unbearable as this type of event is repeated a little too often. Nobody talks about it, a deafening silence on a real security issue. Will it take a tragedy to finally question these real closure problems?
fabio quartararo doesn't fall often, but when he does, statistically, he has more problems with his Alpinestars suit than the others. And one day we will have to explain why. In the race last year, his leather opened at the end of the race Catalonia. He finished his test like this and he was punished for it. Fortunately, he did not have an accident during these laps accomplished with his chest in the air.
Why does the driver combination now open too often?
A Assen, this season, the airbag of the suit fabio quartararo did not trigger during his second fall which led to his abandonment. The Frenchman had shoulder pain, but he was not seriously injured. And then there is this accident Aragon where you can clearly see fabio quartararo in great danger with his suit open while riding on the track. It will be recalled that the pilot Yamaha was taken to the Alcañiz Medical Center due to the burns he suffered on his torso while dragging his body on the asphalt.
But open combinations are not just about the tricolor. In Austria, that of George Martin opened and he was able to race without ever being penalized. HAS SilverstoneWhen Aleix Espargaro found himself knocked to the ground after being thrown from his Aprilia, its leather was open. For what ? What happens with the wetsuits closing? Is it the airbag pressure? We get lost in conjectures, because there is never an answer. Only one certainty: the pilot is in danger in these configurations.
