If there was any evidence to support the position that the new system is safer, the objection to it would be seriously undermined.
Crashes involving more than 1 machine / rider are vanishingly rare, and I can't think of any in recent times that involved a faster rider overtaking a lower order rider (though I confess to knowing almost nothing about Karl Harris' accident except that it did involve 2 machines).
