So you know exactly what injuries they died of,
I had a good friend that died in a automobile crash,,, no helmet, guess he was stupid too, even though a broken neck was the fatal injury.

Pretty presumptuous of you! Pretty unnecessary too!

So after your forensic study of the story you came to the conclusion that the cause of death of these two riders was head injuries and that their death could have been avoided by them wearing helmets.
You must be some kind of forensic wizard because I couldn't come up with that conclusion based on the information in the story.


Since you're some kind of forensic wizard; what was the cause of death for this couple that died in a crash a couple of weeks ago?
https://www.1011now.com/content/news...508257071.html

To give you a little help with your investigation; this couple were wearing helmets.
So what's your forensic expertise tell you as to their cause of death?

Obviously I'm being cynical here.
It just offends me when a person feels the need to criticize someone else who's actions were legal but their decision to exercise their legal rights may have resulted in their death.

If someone wants to do a service announcement promoting the wearing of helmets that's fine with me, it would be a quick read for me because I always wear a helmet.
But to criticize the actions of this Kansas couple when they have pasted is a dick move.

"Stupid?" Probably not.

Naive? Possibly.

Love BBQ? Absolutely.

2nd thread on this subject? Yup.

so i'm at a loss to figure out if your thread title is aimed towards the riders or yourself.....

i bet you're one of those people who feel that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. as long as it agrees with yours.

Seems to be a surge of carnage every Spring, no matter what caused it. Criticism after the fact doesn't help anything.
All of you be careful, be alert, and wear whatever you deem appropriate to be safe.
Prayers to those left behind.

Tragic loss of lives. Calling them out as stupid? Little harsh and judgemental there, Hoss.
