Fatal velodrome incident case review – another viewpoint

November 5, 2021Collision Investigation & Reconstruction, Expert Witness

Back in March 2021 we wrote about the technical work we did for a case in which there was a fatal incident at a velodrome. The solicitors acting for the claimant have also now written up their own account of the same case here.

It’s fascinating to read the two side by side.

Our technical work involved grip testing of bicycle tyres, environmental testing for dirt and debris on a velodrome track, CCTV analysis and accident reconstruction – all rather unusual.

It’s interesting to then read the Claimant’s story from the perspective of their legal team, who undertook painstaking research to find the origin of the ban on dual coloured tyres on velodromes in the UK . The scientific nature of our instructions means we seldom have time to appreciate the efforts of the wider team representing our litigation clients, though we were very aware of the parallel studies conducted by Cycle SOS on this occasion.

Gaining a personal insight into the whole strategy of a claim can influence our technical approach, and the assistance we are able to offer. As part of a much larger organisation, the Investigation Team at TRL can draw on a much wider range of technical knowledge and expertise than the majority of our competitors, as was the case here.
