Arguably, that's also not an accident, but due to a deliberate act of irresponsibility on the part of the little green men.

Why is it I got emotional over those miners and donated a little money to the trust fund but just shrug my shoulders at 400 people being killed needlessly on our roads. where is their trust fund, media coverage, etc?
Fark that's four hundred people!!...dead!!

Fixing the top 10 black spots will just expose the next top ten, then once fixed, the next top ten.......but we wont fix the attitude to driving/riding through black spots..ever!

Good post. I do very similar job to Stu and respect what he did immensely. I just hope I never have to attend the same ammount of fatal crashes he did.

Unfortunately, yes it does.

So you're a 'retard'? I'm assuming you've made the odd mistake in your life...

Depends if they intentionally or unintentionally drop the sheep

Only if you intentionally drop the brick on your foot. If you unintetionally drop the brick on you foot you are clumsy....if you do it twice you are probably a retard

Might have to think about this one on Sunday

Motorcyclists New Zealand wide are going "but, but, but..........."

and what a horrible way to start your X-mas. BUT...this is an accident! Was he a dickhead? No. He was having fun. Was he out of his depth skill wise? We don't know.

Could he have avoided this tragic accident? Yep. By staying home and wrapping himself in cotton wool. By the way...he could've also been blown across the road and knocked a motorcyclist into the path of an oncomming truck and killed him.

He (I'm sure) never meant to do what he did. You experts judge him now, let me know what you think. By the way...don't bring God into it.

A mistake is making the wrong choice, done that loads of times. I went to the office xmas party last night, that was a mistake. Dropping a brick on your foot is not a mistake, it's an accident. Have done that as well. And I am sure I was called a retard at the time.

Now, waking up with the office bike after the xmas party. Not sure whether that was a mistake, an accident or a crash. Whatever it was, I am as sore as buggery today.

Merry Chrimble.

As long as you're not sore due to a nasty itch it's all good.

Being serious then, terrible accident. You need wind to kite surf, obviously a bit too much in that gust. Like riding a bike in the wind we have had this week. Is getting blown in to the path of an oncoming truck a crash or an accident ? I would say the latter if a sudden gust, but if it had been blowing hard all day perhaps you shouldn't have got on the bike ? I rode this week when trees were coming down and I know I probably shouldn't have.

Perhaps God was on my side.

But you did ride. And good for you too.

IF there was a God...would he let people suffer and die? When it wasn't their fault?

Don't tell me he's lonely, and wants the loved ones that leave families broken, more than they do. Oh dear...I'm starting to go off tangent regarding God now.
