There really is no such thing as an accident. An “accident” implies that the outcome was not preventable. In this, and just about all crashes, something could have been done to change what happened. If he was riding slower, he might not have crashed. If he wasn’t overly confident in his riding abilities he might not have crashed. The list goes on and on, but at the end of the day, something could have been done to prevent this death. Just about all crashes are like this, even the ones I’ve been in or have witnessed. It’s unfortunate that someone is dead over something that could have been prevented with just a small attitude adjustment.
