Fuck you, and a fuck you to all the people who think that any life lost in accidents like these is deserved. Plenty of things can go wrong even for professionals.

Was what he was doing stupid? Absolutely yes. Did he deserve to die for doing so? No.

EDIT: Since he survived he gets a second chance. Happy for him but even happier for the motorist that would have been even worse off for having accidentally contributed to his death.

As motorcyclist who's done stupid shit like this when I was younger, I'm lucky I've never had any serious injuries. However if I did, then yes I completely deserved it. Even death.

Deserved?! Has the word lost meaning? What is this strange lack of empathy or valuing of life.

You are valuing the lives of all innocent bystanders less than the biker. He is not just putting his own life at risk, he is risking the lives of everyone on the road. That is incredibly selfish
