RIP.  Sad for parents and siblings.  But if you play the risky games, you takes your chances.  And it's still Darwin that always wins eventually.

That wearing a helmet can save your life.

Even a helmet wouldn't save you with a direct hit on a pole like that.  He may well have broken his neck, in addition to cracking his skull.

IMO The Police hardly "rushed" if the young lads parents were already at the scene. Very sad, RIP young man.

RIP, just a kid. However motocy's racing at night are a pain in the a s s, let alone dangerous for road users. I wish there was a noise suppression craze, what a charm that would be.
