Freigeist365 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 RIP, Mr. Silva - condolences to family and friends. Just guessing here, but perhaps a helmet could have saved his life - a REAL helmet, not the 99 Baht plastic shells... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just guessing here but perhaps he was wearing the helmet that was reported a being found at the scene? And maybe it wasn't a B99 one.

So he was not wearing it properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impacts that cause severe, fatal head injuries often cause the helmet to be displaced, you have no idea whether he was wearing it properly or not.

If wore properly it most likely would not have been displaced. So yes, I do have some idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
