It helps to be alert & stay safe.
Always have a ride companion during offroad/ Dh rides

Sad we lost another bike enthusiast :(

I'm wondering if our bicycle helmets are good enough for accidents. I had a MOTORCYCLE accident recently and broke my arm in 4 places. Took a mighty whack to the head but my helmet took all the brunt. Somehow I don't think my bicycle helmet would have been up to the task. Expert comments anyone?

Whooooa... 4 places is mighty!

It surely does not help if one falls flat on the face. Otherwise it definitely helpa to a great extent.
I have witnessed a guy falling down on the road during a descent at a 40+kmph speed during one of the rides. His hemet cracked but the guy escaped head injury.... Depends on how awkward the position will be when someone falls. How you manage yourself (reflex & response ) during a fall surely matters a lot.

how fast were you going when you had the accident?  it was probably much faster than the speed at which your 'normally' ride your bicycle?  as i understand, bicycle helmets are designed to provide protection for falls at speeds much lower than what motorcycles will usually travel at.

Yes head injuries. No mention about he wearing the helmets.

Bike was provided by resort, looks like BSO, seeing the image of it. No idea how well the bike was maintained.

No traffic, it was a trail, he went into drain after hit a stone.

Looks like sort of negligence.

I have not marked a cc to their family members, to hurt someone's feelings.

A ride at 8.30 am
No traffic
Not wearing helmet
Bike provided by resort
BSO

You are right, am sorry we need to call it FATE.

If you are firm believer of that, I wonder some time, why do you use tire liners, "a puncture has to happen will happen at any cost"

Or even helmet for that matter

It wont happen if you use tire liners, as per Pradeep. They even change fate itself.
