Your child wants
to take up Billy Cart racing as there has been a local club operating for 10
years. After a few competitions, for which your child is pretty good in his
fast red mobile, you attend a day that is a bit wet from rain. You have some
concerns, but it not enough to be serious enough to pull out of the race. As
your child speeds down the steep road in first place, they come to a corner and
slide off the road where they plummet 20 meters down a cliff, smash their head
on a dead old tree and die. You say to yourself accidents happen and let it go,
even though your wife is distraught. Now unbeknown to you, you find out a few
days later that there were two previous deaths on the same corner and same
rainy wet conditions, in the last ten years. You find that there has been
repeated concerns raised about this corner and safety issues but nothing was
done. There were no controls and no management of risk.
Do you seek to find blame that will give action to stop further incidents?
