Biker killed by BBQ fumes

[Crasherfromwayback]

What!!! this isnt uncommon. Are there really that many morons out there. Oh well at least the guy gave me a laugh, fuckin moron

What part of it exactly do you find so funny? That the dead guy made a mistake that cost him him life...or the fact that he's actually dead?

So who read gas? I didn't.

It appears that the real fuck wits are the ones rattling on about the dangers of gas being well known.
For those too dim to think here's a handy link.

You obviously know the risks of using portable gas appliances in confined spaces, this poor bloke obviously did not. Glad you can laugh at the death of someone, I feel sorry for you. Moron was a good title to use.

take a bow mate you have just made the biggest of the week

[blackdog]

yup, pretty sure therewuz no 'gas' (as in LP) involved at all.

think disposable tinfoil roasting tray full of charcoal (hot embers producing CO).

I remember a previous case with those kids in a car... the media said they were keeping warm... by heating their knives up with a billy burner. That was a funny but tragic accident... this is just tragic. And not in the Lady Gaga sort of way

There was a case up here too, where the family, had the kids in the back of the station wagon/ute or what have you. They stopped for gas (sorry, bad north american choice of words for petrol) at the local servo, checked on them and found them dead in the back I can not even begin to imagine what that might feel like. I doubt anyone would be laughing though. Morons if they were.

Sorry guys didnt mean to offend anyone and its not the guys death that I found funny but it amazes me that in ths day and age and with all the safety instructions that come with any type of BBQ that anyone would think that that sort of thing was ok even if one did think it was out.
I really feel sorry for the father who found him in the morning

Pics or it didn't happen.

My younger brother went to school with those guys, so that would make them about 32 if they where still alive, but I think it was about 10 years ago.

I knew of them, and, like you suggest, "heating knives on a gas burner to keep warm"...... Pffffft!

I don't want to make light of death, but I know these particular guys where real drop kicks, where as the guy in the latest story does not seem to be.

That is the biggest shame.

I notice though that the UK media jump on the "Biker" definition again.

Why not "Camper"?

Sensationalism at it's best aye!

To be fair, the media aren't jumping on "biker", the victim was a bike racer attending a weekend meeting (I thought I'd mentioned that in the original item, sorry if I didn't). Of course, it was putting it in his van that caused the tragedy, so biker or not, that could have happened to anyone who didn't realise the danger.

And to summarise other thoughts; nothing funny about dying of asphyxiation - and asking for photos of a person who dies of asphyxiation (a particularly nasty way to die I understand) is sick.

At least he would have died in his sleep as it were. RIP
