Kyle Regal ok?

I was wondering how Kyle Regal was doing after he landed on one of the stakes that holds up the banners? I read it in Observations "Scary moment for the kid Kyle Regal “Beagle.” While up front in the first moto, Regal went down hard and impaled himself on a metal rod that was holding up banners. It was definitely a freak thing, as it lacerated his kidney and he had to be rushed to the hospital. All reports are that he would have to stay in ICU for a couple of days but would be fine otherwise. I promise you MX Sports will be investigating new ways to banner the tracks in the off-season."

I think they should find a different way to mount these banners. I watched the track crews at Steel City this past weekend going around and sawing off the top of the wooden stakes holding the banners. To me this is dangerous. If you land on those wrong you are in big trouble. And to me the banners restrict your view of the track and the riders. At some of the nationals I went to this year you can't tell what the track looks like because the banners are in the way.
