Belgian Cyclist Dies In Giro D'Italia Crash

Belgian cyclist Wouter Weylandt has died following a serious crash on the third
stage of the Giro d'Italia cycle race.


Looks like his death could have been caused by his helmet - or at least it will
have contributed to it.

His death was caused by colliding with a wall at high speed.

What cheap, idiotic, callous and vulgar point are you making by using
his death as an opportunity for misplaced and ill-informed sarcasm?

That is how she gets her kicks, I'm afraid. Sick people do.
The guy was about to be a father and reading about this death was
awful. :-(
No doubt Cheerless et al will be along with the Champagne and party
poppers in due course.

Why don't the rest of the cyclists abandon their race when someone dies?

Is that a race for unemployed Italian cyclists then?

Sorry - just pointing out that many here say that helmets contribute to head
injuries - are you saying that they don't and his helmet could not have
contributed to his injuries?

My thoughts are with his family.

You utter cretin. Why do you have to get your kicks by spouting
complete unsubstantiated nonsense about helmets. Do you have an
identical twin who moonlights for "Brake" ?

His face was comprehensively flattened against a very solid, near flat
object, sweet f*ck all to do with his helmet.

You wrote that it looks like that his (Wouter's) death could have been
caused by his helmet ( or that his (Wouter's) helmet will have
contributed to his death. You make no reference to what others have
said here or elsewhe that part of your second posting is a lie.

- are you saying that they don't
I make no general comment about helmets.

and his helmet could not have
contributed to his injuries?

I was watching this race live when this happened. Were you? Have you
seen the footage? His injuries were to his face and forehead: I can
confidently say that his helmet did not contribute to his injuries.
My thoughts are with his family.
Of course they are.
