Kinda scary, actually. Poor guy, he was only 28 yrs old. I wonder how often this type of thing happens?
The AP article reports that this is the first OBRA fatality since the 1980s. Crashes, yes. High-speed crashes, yes. (I'm pretty sure it was at PIR that another rider clipped my husband during the 30+ mph sprint and sent him head-over heels into the pavement, separating his shoulder and causing a pretty bad concussion.) But this kind of serious injury is pretty rare.
