Yeah, I think they were actually riding based on the description. I'm like you in the chances, worse than the lottery I'm sure!. There was an 8 year old that got killed a couple weeks ago in the DC area when a tree fell on their tent. I keep thinking - When your number gets called you're going regardless!
RIP to the guy, hopefully it was something he loved doing.
