very sad - but a graphic demonstration of ATGATT - even on a scooter ..

Yup both my wife and I rocked the helmets in Raro, both of us experienced riders... Everyone I met along the way wasn't wearing one and I questioned a few as to their experience on a bike, all of them had not ridden before.

Pointless loss of life.

As the story said she was not travelling at speed it was possible lack of experience riding a scooter caused the crash. Lots of people do risky things when on holiday and a number die in NZ each year too taking on risky holiday activities.

Or maybe she was following in a group ride, under pressure trying to catch up, aye?

But you have to travel at speed to do that and there was no coment that speed was a contributing factor.

Sorry to break it to you dear

Bollocks. It's a graphic demonstration of what can happen if you crash while not wearing a helmet. Minor cuts and bruises described elsewhere in the report don't tend to result in death.

I take my Arai with me - I need the protection while trying to set a new lap record. IOR TT.

Seriously, they lose a few tourists a year to the scooter no helmet thing. Last time I was there, a lady cop pulled me over to tell me the helmet was a good idea. Then she tried asking my mate Rob (who is half Rarotongan) for his number. I wasn't upset about it, she was waaaaay too much woman for me*.

*In case you missed the point, she was a fucking heffalump and I like skinny angry women who like meaningful one night relationships.
