I can somehow understand that this race is historical, and dangerous (two dead so far this week).

But who makes a hot pitstop for fuel with guys wearing nothing but unzipped coveralls?

Sloppy - could have been worse - glad everyone seems okay.

 

[dasiffy]

was that static or spill on a hot engine?

So I guess the key to filling a tank is to ensure that the hose is actually in there. On a serious note, hopefully the guy that hops over the barrier after the fire is ok, he had a bit of fire on him.

Mechanic is in hospital with face and hand burns.

I'm surprised they let fuel stops occur without proper fire protection.

They didn't have fire protection in 1907, why have it now? What's changed?

They are well known for safety at the TT lol

That was the second pit fueling fire of the week.

Sloppy is definitely the word.
