I'm not flaming you, muleskinner, but why in the world do we have to be subjected to such graphic descriptions of poor unfortunates that used to enjoy our common pastime? Notwithstanding your professional interest and/or affiliation, I would imagine that many others here would find these extraneous postings about fellow riders' death, mutilation or dismemberment to be ineffective and oddly oblique ways of preaching safety, if not just outright morbid.
We all know how dangerous riding a bike is, so what's the purpose of posting such things?
If it's a member of this online community that's had an accident, been injured or worse, that's one thing - I think that most other members here would want to know about it. Frankly, when it comes to the misfortunes of other riders, I for one, think that its undesirable and at times gratuitous to be slapped over the head with such negative, bad or sad news.
