pre-exesting condition as cause accident

last sunday after celebrating the opening of a new HOG club ,several members went for a nice ride,that ended tragical.at abt one hour from the capital one of our friends on a sporty 1200 went off the road over the rails.
he is a experience rider.
he was flown with an emergecy chopper to the biggest hospital here and was admitted in the intensive care and has been in a coma since then.
i spoke with one of the neurosurgeons attending him and
probably he had a stroke prior to the accident.he had no head injuries,and a broken arm .so we think that while riding he got a stroke,couldn't controle the bike and fell.we all hope that he will be ok and recover 100%
point is check ur health.like blood pressure ,bloodglucose,cholesterol
and beside riding keep exercising,walking etc ...at least 3 times a week!

prayers for a speedy recovery- as I get older this is one of my primary concerns- you can do everything right and still suffer from the unexpected..

Sorry about your buddy, hope he gets over this. I think my wife worries about this when she's riding with me more than I ever think about it.

Prayers for your friend's full recovery. We can take all the courses and buy the best protective equipment, but our health is every bit as important as anything else we do for preventing accidents.
