Racing is a dangerous sport wether it be motorcycles, cars, dirtbikes, boats, whatever.  We will all die at sometime, just some sooner than others.  

Mr. Jefferies died participating in something that made him feel alive.  He did not get ill and suffer for a long period of time.  He was not killed by an act of another.  Think about it, how would you like to go?

His family and friends are dealing with a tremendous sense of loss at this time.  My heart goes out to them.  Hopefully they can find comfort in knowing that he died doing what he loved.

Godspeed David. Thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and fans.

Someday I have to attend the IOM...

Is there be a greater test of man and machine? I think not.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo....that is terrible. :'(

Godspeed David.  At least he has passed on in what was rumored to be his favorite place in the world. :)

Damn it, I really hate hearing news like this!  >:(

I just watched his record setting races on DVD not too long ago. He really was amazing! RIP Dave. See you at the big IOM in the sky!  :'(

Stolen from another site:

In his blunt Yorkshire way, Jefferies had explained how he prepared himself mentally for those amazing feats. "To succeed on the island, you have to be totally at ease with yourself, know exactly what you're doing, and accept that you might be going home in a box."
