Having Ridden a Motorcycle for Ten years...and not Dying or ever becoming Serious Injured I was a LF.

Sadly I read today of a local 16 year old girl ridding on the back of her boyfriends motorcycle died after being rear-ended by a distracted semi-truce driver.

So how to classify her death? Unlucky...no. Once you hop on a bike and die there are only two categories to describe the death either being DF or SF. Since the accident was totally the fault of the semi driver DF is how she died. Often you'll hear the almost insane speeds of 120+ mph when a motorcyclist crashes with the risk taker confident in his ability to control the bike, he dies a SF death.

Anyone who dies doing something dangerous will be either lucky to live and tell about it or die D or S.

Shame the paper didn't report her death that way, maybe it might be a cautionary reminder that life is delicate and shouldn't be gambled with doing dumb things like hopping on the back of a bike. The law of physics is always working against the motorcyclist...eventually the law almost always wins.

Any mountain climber, wing-suiter, parasailer, motorcycle rider, or snake handler who dies is either D or S.
