ChevelleFan Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 First, we've got dumb & dumber: Two Riders with Learner's Permits run into each other, neither wearing a helmet. One is life-flighted. http://www.newsnet5.com/news/19820444/detail.html I ride through this intersection quite often. It's one park road intersecting another. Epic fail to crash here. I guess both riders should automatically have their permits revoked.Next: we've got freak accident. Car hits, deer --> deer knocks motorcyclist off bike --> rider gets run over by Ford Explorer --> motorcycle continues and hits Dodge Dakota. Rider died at the scene. Again, no helmet. http://www.newsnet5.com/news/19811927/detail.htmlI don't know how people can ride without a helmet. I've bounced my head on concrete while working under my car and it *hurts*. That's only couple inches off the ground and 0 mph. The 2nd accident just goes to show it might not be the rider's fault at all, but he suffered the consequences.-Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 The freak accident one, the rider had a helmet I believe. Something about getting hit by a Ford Explorer is what ended his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollFace Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 That is crazy. And they couldn't find the deer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Been too many deaths lately. One just about 10 minutes away(friend of a friend). I haven't been in the mood to ride for about a week or more, maybe it's saved my life:dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbikez Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 im sure there have been more deaths by automobile this week. They are just not as reported as much , simply because they are alot more common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 The freak accident one, the rider had a helmet I believe. Something about getting hit by a Ford Explorer is what ended his life. The news is saying he didn't have a helmet on. Of course, they tend to lie...but I talked to someone the night it happened, who was close to the situation and they said he wasn't wearing one..and it wasn't pretty.Not that it changes anything...another rider lost. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
