You redefine the term disingenuous, don't you? He may have "accidentally" killed himself, but he died of heart failure. This is a helmet thread. The fact that he wasn't wearing a helmet, and was an experienced rider, had absolutely no bearing on his death and zero relevance to the subject of this thread.
Care to comment on the fact that either example rider has an equal chance to have an accident?
Reread my previous reply. The last paragraph deals with this point. To suggest that good riders have the same chance of an accident as bad ones is plain stupid.
