Not a insult just a fact.every time a bike crash makes the news, this is the last words in the report. i almost take it as an insult to the victim and the choice he/she made. does this actually serve a purpose? are they required to mention this in the story?
that's the impression i get.The left leaning press just loves to rub that stuff in our face.
That would be a lot more acceptable.Hawaii reports it both ways.
Yeah, TS, its like saying, "wear a helmet and prevent an accident".Around here they say if a helmet was not worn. Never once have a I read that they were.
But I have read "they died of internal injuries" To me that means damage to the body from the shoulders down.
Last sentence in the article was "They were not wearing a helmet". :dunno

Really did my left leg and ankle a helluva lot of good in my wreck.
+1 kd, when I went down, I knew I broke my leg, ambulance wanted to tie my head down, I got claustrophobia real bad, I told them my head was fine, get this shit off me and pay attention to my leg.Really did my left leg and ankle a helluva lot of good in my wreck.
Same here in Southern Colorado, along with " Drugs and Alcohol was or was not a factor" statement.Our local channels, every one of them, when reporting a motorcycle injury or fatality, always mentions whether or not the rider(s) was wearing a helmet.
I have to admit. When I read or hear about a bike related accident those things cross my mind.Same here in Southern Colorado, along with " Drugs and Alcohol were or were not a factor" statement.
Agreed.that's the impression i get.
i never hear "the elderly lady did NOT yield the right of way".
"the highway crew did NOT clean up the dirt from the road after digging"
