* In 1994, in spite of the severe injuries suffered by Ayrton Senna, UsefulNotes/FormulaOne decided to restart the San Marino Grand Prix after cleaning up his wreckage and taking him to the hospital. He would be declared dead a few hours later.
* During the 2013 UsefulNotes/TwentyFourHoursOfLeMans, driver Allan Simonsen was killed on the third lap in a one car crash. The organizers let the race continue even after his death, and, at Allan's family's request, the Aston Martin team (which he raced for) stayed in the race.

* This used to be very common in motorsport, especially in the days when attitudes towards safety were more lax: drivers would suffer fatal accidents, and the race would keep going as though nothing had happened, often with the crash site in full view of the remaining racers.
** The 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans saw the deadliest accident in motorsport history, as Pierre Levegh's Mercedes was catapulted into the crowd; Levegh was killed by the impact, and eighty spectators were killed by the debris and subsequent fire. While Mercedes pulled out, the race carried on.
** The death of Roger Williamson at the 1973 Dutch Grand Prix is a particularly notorious example. David Purley, seeing Williamson's car upside-down and on fire, got out to try and help him, while the rest of the drivers carried on. Eventually, unable to right the car by himself, Purley stepped out onto the track and gestured frantically for the approaching drivers to pull over and help, [[PoorCommunicationKills but they all assumed the overturned car was Purley's and didn't realise there was another driver trapped inside it]], so they kept going. Williamson died of smoke inhalation, and the marshals (who had been equally powerless to help [[NoOSHACompliance as they had no fire extinguishers]]) had to lead a distraught Purley away from the scene. And all of this was broadcast live, because the telecast didn't stop either.

*later. Indeed, given that Roland Ratzenberger had died in a separate crash during qualifying, the fact that the race went ahead in the first place is an example of the trope; Senna himself had specifically refused a request from FIA doctor Sid Watkins to pull out, deciding instead that he would win the race and dedicate it to Ratzenberger's memory.

* This actually happens often in professional wrestling (though fortunately rarely to the same degree as Owen Hart). The most common causes are legit injuries and/or botched moves, or in rarer cases, botched use of props, weapons or equipment.

The most common causes are legit injuries and/or botched moves, or in rarer cases, botched use of props, weapons or equipment. One of the most famous examples also involves Owen Hart: he botched a piledriver that broke Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin's neck.
