Well, I'd tend to believe the MotoGP Medical Director comments over the independent article. I guess it's possible he could have been conscious for a very short time between the CPR in the ambulance, and the CPR in the medical center.

probably better press for the MotoGP if he didn't regain consciousness, so, I'll go with the independent reporter. I work for a PR shop, the business comes first.

as for the helmet, it looks like the impact struck an anchor point directly.
if that is the case then i doubt there is much you can do to increase the helmet safety. i was thinking maybe kevlar reinforced straps if it was the straps that let go, but if there is direct damage to the anchor point then there really isnt too much you can do i think. there is only so much engineering can do before simple physics will just take over.
or maybe some kind of full neck enclosure system that would distribute the anchor points around the whole frame of the helmet... but then would add the danger of choking the rider.

With all due respect to both riders this whole incident reminds me in a sad/weird way of what happened to Dolph. Only in the way that Dolph rode and Super Sic raced with a passion that most of us can recognize but few embrace. Both had a balls to the wall all the time mentality while on the bike. I can only imagine that's the way they wanted to live their lives. Most of us, me included, rachet it back a few notches and last a lot longer. But there is never a guarantee. You could get hit by falling space debris mowing the lawn this upcoming weekend. It's all caused by living. RIP to both Dolph and Super Sic. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Simoncelli's helmet come off in a crash before... I don't remember when, but with all the practice/qualy sessions I've watched I'm fairly certain. He most likely wore a helmet a few sizes too big to keep all that hair. You'll also notice in football that the guys with lots of hair tend to lose their helmet quite a bit as well.
RIP Marco. Regardless of the helmet issue, there was virtually no chance of surviving that hit from two bikes.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Yeah. That was a very touching, very personal piece. He wasn't just a fierce racer, he was a very real person and a great character. All of that made him so likeable. He so reminds me of Rossi in that way. No wonder they were good friends. Cut from the same bolt of cloth.

I think it's all going to come down to the Mental strength of these 2 guys (Rossi and Edwards) they may be saying they won't retire now, but we are still only a couple of days out from the Incident, in the coming weeks and Months these guys are going to think about the Accident, dwell on it, throw around the Idea of "Could I have down more to avoid him?" or "Why not me?"
they have some tough times ahead, and I hope they talk to specialist people (Shrinks, Councillors, Wives, Girlfriends, whoever) they have some tough times in there own minds up ahead.
My only hope is they are constantly reminded, even by there own train of thought, that this was not your fault, there was nothing you or anyone else could have done to avoid this crash or this Death. Sic went in to this knowing this could be a potential outcome of this Sport.
this is terrible Accident, with the worst possible outcome, my biggest worry is that these 2 guys will go on to blame themselves, The little voice planting seeds of doubt can often be our biggest enemy.
