As long as you approach them both with due regard to your abilities and the prevailing conditions, track riding is much safer.

Loz, nail on head hit hard......

I think a few people go to the track just to push their limits; getting the knee down, topping the bike out etc. etc. And I wonder how may ever ride that hard for 5 mins on the road, let alone a 20 or 30 min session..... I think they are most at risk, to themselves and others, not so the regular track fiends who have even practiced getting off at silly speeds a few times.
