Auto racing is a dangerous sport.
No matter how strongly they weld the roll cages together, no matter how thick the helmets are and no matter how many layers of Nomex and Kevlar you choose to wear. The participants all know reality of it, but the fans often don't. We sometimes create heroes that we perceive to be larger than life and when a fatal injury occurs the vulnerability of such a reality can be devastating. Dale Earnhardt was that kind of a hero to many people. And because of that, his untimely death makes the world today a sadder place.
