I'm a strong advocate of helmets, but when you hit a cement pole at high speed, your body tends to get seriously damaged, and no helmet in the world will protect against that.

"When he arrived at the traffic lights he was travelling too fast and couldn’t stop his motorbike in time, causing the bike to skid. The man then collided with a power pole. Mr Adipong was wearing a helmet."

 

Perhaps I've been here to long, but when I see a death like this my major feeling is one of relief that the fool didn't take any innocent people with him.

No RIPs from me.

I heard Eastern Europeans were mainly responsible for hitting them at speed. Apparently Poles make the best post-impressionists.

A burned-out bike suggests nothing about "warp speed", it does suggest that fuel got on to a hot engine but that can happen at any speed.

Are you a visually impaired collision investigator on your PC? ?

I see this all too often in Patong……...idiots racing their bikes along straight stretches of road, irrespective of other traffic or traffic lights, so they would be unable to stop in an emergency.

 

I am afraid I am with Old Croc on this and have no sympathy for such dangerous/reckless behaviour.

People like this are a lost cause and there are many more waiting in the wings to join him
