One of my coworkers siblings died yesterday due to a motorcycle accident. He was wearing a helmet but he was going so fast the helmet actually tore part of his face off. I feel bad for my friend and his family. They are really nice folks.

Hit the brakes to avoid a car that was pulling out in front of him and went over the handle bars. He had a helmet but the impact broke his neck. |

Michael Schumacher wasn't going very fast either and he was wearing a helmet. |

Distant relative of mine was killed on a bike a few years ago.
Went under an 18 wheel semi tractor trailer on the freeway. As I understand it they had to pretty much scrape what was left of him off the pavement. I believe excessive speed and recklessness on his part was a factor, at least from what I heard. |
