The main point of this story is that here is yet another needless death of someone who was here to supposedly enjoy them selves. Someone else who also thought helmets are not going to protect the brain, at least better than nothing at all. Now I'll wait for the barrage of indignant bike riders to reply, who think they are so clever as to not fall off so don't need protection. Early morning, fair chance alcohol was involved, no helmet = recipe for death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, from the photograph & the description of face covered in blood it looks like he smashed into the wall and a helmet would have helped but we'll never know how much though.

rooster59 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 British man, 30, dies in crash on Phuket’s Muay Thai street Shela Riva Mr Hitman died after crashing into a wall on Soi Ta-iad in Chalong. Photo: Harry Isaac Hitman/Facebook PHUKET: A 30-year-old British man died yesterday (June 2) when he crashed his motorbike into a wall on Phuket’s famed Muay Thai street, Soi Ta-iad, at around 2.30am in the morning. Capt Somkiet Sarasit of the Chalong Police confirmed today (June 3) that the man, Harry Isaac Hitman, crashed into the cement block wall and was dead at the scene by the time they had arrived. “It is highly likely that Mr Hitman was driving too fast, lost control, and crashed into the wall. He wasn’t wearing a helmet,” said Capt Somkiet. “The accident took place on Soi Ta-iad about 50 metres from the junction with Chao Fa East Rd, close to the Home Mart hardware store. “There were no eyewitnesses who saw the crash, but people found the man’s body in the road soon after it had happened,” he added. Capt Somkiet explained that Mr Hitman held a valid UK driver’s licence for both a motorbike and car and that he was in the country on a tourist visa.

NamKangMan Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 2 hours ago, stevenl said: What is Tuk Com? How does putting the SIM in another phone help if the numbers are stored on the phone? Tuk Com is a shopping center in Pattaya, primarily for electronics. Similar to Pantip Plaza in Bangkok, but a lot smaller. The sim card could be put in another phone and then used to ring the phone of another police officer. (provided there is no Sim lock PIN activated) The deceased's phone number will appear on the officer's phone. They can then use that number to find who it is registered to, which may possibly be the deceased. This information can then be matched to the "Alien's" accommodation registration.

Early morning, fair chance alcohol was involved, no helmet = recipe for death. Wear a helmet, sure. Great idea. But don't let that fool yourself into thinking that riding a scooter is safe. Even with a helmet, it's still 20-40 times more dangerous than riding in a 4 wheel vehicle. Beers and helmets just make you think you're indestructible. And overconfidence brought on by either probably kills a lot of scooter riders. Edited June 3, 2017 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
