Sadly, a friend in our cycling club was just killed on a descent when he hit sand, lost control of the bike and went into the opposite lane where an SUV was coming around the bend. His wife had gotten him a camera for Christmas and actually watched the footage, which included his friends telling him to hang on while waiting for help. I can't even imagine watching something like that, yet if it were my husband's last moments and I had the opportunity, I'd probably do it too.

Interesting to think about.
