SAFETY FIRST: No compromises on safety
Whenever such many athletes are competing in a single race event, accidents appear to happen naturally. To minimize the possible dangers for each competitor, an efficient safety concept is crucial. RED BULL ERZBERGRODEO is one of the world‘s most engaged vanguards in terms of safety for riders, spectators and crew people.
The Austrian Motorsports Association (MSA) directed by Karl Katoch signs courtesy for all racing agendas at the Erzbergrodeo. Due to the close cooperation with landlord VA-Erzberg, the city of Eisenerz, regional partners, rescue services and partners like KTM and RED BULL, it was possible over the years to make the Erzbergrodeo not only become one of the most successful but
safest dirtbike racing events worldwide.
One of the main topics of the oragnisation is the conservation and further development of the unique safety concept. Due to the close cooperation with the local rescue services managed by Erwin Schume, the use of tremendous financial resources, an extremely experienced crew of rescue medics and the use of rescue helicopters, Karl Katoch was able to implement a very efficient rescue- and supply-system at Erzberg.
This system enables an optimized support of the spacious and difficult to access site during the 4-days event. In case of an accident, even the 35 kilometers long Hare Scramble racetrack can be reached by medic crews within a few minutes - no matter where the accident has happened. Hundreds of helpers, motorized guides and specially trained medics work together since several years as a very efficient and experienced rescue crew.
The race promotors have invested serious money and efforts to make „simply watching the race“ a safe and unforgettable experience. The compliance of the safety rules is mandatory for the visitor‘s own safety!
Therefore the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo can be truly regarded as one of the world‘s safest motorsports events.
