He would sue the 'Ring for not stopping him from being stupid. He would sue the local regional gov't for not preventing the 'Ring from allowing him to be stupid. He might even try to sue YouTube for the embarrassing broadcast of his ass-hattery.

In Germany, it's possible for something to be your own damn fault and, sorry, no suit for you!

Because they're on track, and there are people trained to respond to that sort of thing, and there are who knows how many cars about to come zipping around that corner, and the worst thing you could do is stop and clog the track and/or create a larger incident because someone runs into your stopped ass on the closed track.
