The referee is allowed to re-start any race, at any time, when something happens that may affect the end result (like a guy's skate blade breaking off).

I just watched the race. I can understand stopping the race from a safety perspective now. That definitely makes sense. The only thing I would argue would be allowing for an equipment change and the impacted skater to take part in the restart. I think in that case they should be out.
