@usamachinist The FIM doesn't let the races in Silverstone to be raced in the "Bridge Configuration" because of the Bridge Turn, which is much less dangerous. Nice point by the way and you may be right. (Suzuka is still a possession of Honda.)

@karacabingol At the time I think alot of riders were fed up with some safety issues at Suzuka, It was owned by Honda, may still be. Politics I guess! The FIM may not have wanted to lean on them too much! Just my guess.

@usamachinist well, he was one of the people who could understand the situation best. However, i didn't get why he said "typical for this place!" in the end.

[usamachinist]

@karacabingol Kenny Roberts Jr. said afterwards(He didn't know Kato was dead) "They Should have stopped the race, They just threw him on a stretcher, Typical for this place!", quoteing KR jr.

Really, unless the wall is made out of marshmallows, it does not matter if your on a bike, your pretty much dead.

@zNorzia Daijiro case is different. He hit the wall at the speed at 200km/h. Not sure concrete or tyre walls. He might have lost control of his bike because he is too fast before entering corner. Some professional claims Suzuka track is not safe because the wall is so close while the rider can reach 280km/h before entering sharp corner. So riders normally take hard brake. To pay tribute to Katoh and also unsafety track, until now no Motogp racing is held in Suzuka. That is the story.
