Bonus Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 RIP :-( Deepest sympathies to the family.Respect to the guys and girls that tried their best to revive him.
HairyLegs Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 RIP.What happened, pothole, accident or natural causes?
Bonus Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 From what they were saying at the scene, he felt unwell, stopped and sat on the verge for a while, phoned his wife to fetch him but then suffered a fatal heart attack. We arrived there 20 min after the ambulance was first called and it was at least another ten mins before a paramedic bakkie arrived. By then it was too late and the folks trying to revive him had stopped. his wife and half a dozen more emergency vehicles arrived a short while later. When we rode back past there a 45mins later there were quite a few family members there with her. This, and the heart attack fatality 3 weeks ago has certainly highlighted how far away from medical responce you are if you ride out there alone :-(
HappyMartin Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Really very sad. Best wishes to the family. Awful for them
Pure Savage Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Condolences to the family.. Btw, for a Capie, what exactly is the craddle? Any reason for all these accidents?
shifter Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 It was not an accident...The cyclist had a heart attack...The Cradle is a very popular, quite safe area for cycling with cycling lanes...

G Agreed, and also, if possible....go and do a proper basic First Aid course. Even if it means becoming a first aid rep at your company. My dad had a medical emergency on Monday last, and I was able to help him, because of a basic course I did. Bateleur1 and Tumbleweed 2
