The moral of the story is,
9, 3, 14 or 40 whoops won't ever have a meaningful impact on the health of the riders. This early season proves how there are just way too many parameters from racing & training where the risk is constantly at max level, it's inherent to the sport. Risk cannot be removed from the equation even riding on the flat.
Bring back common sense track with the obstacles, dragons back & long whoops are a normal part of racing.
Anyways,
Bikes are too fast now and the sport has just elevated to a level that can’t be sustained
What injuries are from the bikes being too fast?
The whoops really helped decide that race but I think even more so they need to focus on entry into the whoops and do more layouts where they are hitting a rhythm or something before them instead of coming out of a corner.
And to play devils advocate Chase crashed in the whoops and ended up landing at the end of them safely in the flat before the corner, add one or two more whoops he is landing in the face of one of them.
ORRRRRR...maybe the riders are so used to tracks without whoops that REAL SX track with these whoops are kicking their butts. Keep the whoops..we need the whoops. Don't dumb down the sport.

There was less injuries in the 90s. Especially in the 125 class. That’s all I’m saying.
I demand riders continue to be injured for my 5 minute attention span entertainment, damn it!!!
This makes no sense? Jetts injury was from the start, Eli was from entering a rhythm section, Hunter was coming into the finish line jump?
Chase crashed IN THE WHOOPS and didn't get injured lol
So maybe less jumps/ starts/ straights and more whoops?
