My opinion is, the mechanical is part of the race, I am sorry something wore out or broke, but in every other form of locomotion sport they do not care if you breakdown somehow, it is part of the event.

IE they do not care if your engine blew in Auto racing, if you used wrong wax in skiing, luge, bobsled, or if the spikes tear in a 100, they do not wait. It is your job to catch them with what you have.

ETA:

I would love to hear Roll and Vande Velde's real feelings about attacking in a Mechanical. Sherwood and Liggett's are well known as they are pansies.

They both said they were fine with it. And Bob brought up a good point....no one waited for Dan Martin when Richie Porte caught him on his crash.
