On the other hand, maybe he shouldn't have been practicing an extreme
sport such as mountain biking, which is perfectly designed to create
heart attacks. DUH!



Or, you're just an idiot.

The guy had trouble bringing in firewood from the yard, this would suggest
that climbing stairs is an activity he should not be doing. He had coronary
heart disease, odds favor his death resulted from a chunk of crap breaking
loose from the inside of an artery, and this happend -- just by chance --
during a bike ride.

If mountain biking was "perfectly designed to create heart attacks," then
how come more mountain bike riders do not drop dead every weekend? Indeed,
kids all over the country would be dropping like flies as they pedal a
mountain bike to school. Wait, your point is that the people that die while
riding a bike -- any kind of bike, because there is no difference in what
type of bike one rides from the perspective of a failing heart -- were
having significant health issues before they threw their leg over the
cross-bar. No, that's not your point at all.
