SAGecko Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 yeah. So either hugged a tree, or OTB onto his chest. Leaning to the latter cos of him lying face down. Damn. Tragic news It seems like he died pretty quickly while doing what he loved doing. I think I'd prefer that to dying in agony in a hospital bed. Hamba kahle, fellow rider.
jake the snake Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Scary stuff! Makes me think about riding alone! What will happen if you are knocked out cold on the trail and no one to help? And watching the Cedric Garcia video...shows that it does not take much of a crash to do serious damage!
Headshot Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Shame poor guy and his family. That could easily have been any of us but its quite an unusual incident/result. I think the autopsy results will be interesting. He may for instance have had a heart attack and fallen off his bike because of that. Would a chest protector have saved him if he did indeed land on a rock or just very hard on the ground?

Not a nice thought.
