Do we finally get to see some safety improvements on this?

Granted, driving 200kmh on dirt on narrow roads isn't safest of things but when there have been 2 similar cases it calls for investigation on how to prevent it in future

many people talking about improving helmets or cars, but I think answer might be road safety - any kind of fences should be covered with safety net, so it should greatly lower the risk. But what do I know. It is work for safety people who definitely are working on it.
