Biker's body found after police search called off, inquest hears

A mountain biker who plunged 9m to his death was not found until the next day after police decided to call off an area search, a coroner's finding has detailed.

Lower Hutt man Lance Kaiki, 43, was reported missing by his wife Debbie after he failed to return from a ride in the Belmont Forest Park, less than 5km from his Petone home, on June 21 last year.

Mrs Kaiki had dropped her husband off at the park about 2.20pm and expected him home about 40 minutes later. She called police when he had not returned by 10pm.

His body was not discovered until 12.45pm the next day.

Police searched the area until early the next morning, but did not resume the search at daylight after reaching the conclusion he was no longer in the park.

The search resumed later the next day, but by then a cousin had found Mr Kaiki's body face-down in a stream, slumped over a metal pipe, at the bottom of steep cliff.

His bike was found a metre away, caught up in rocks and trees by the stream.

Sergeant Anthony Harmer, who led the search, said police had placed too much weight on cellphone data which suggested Mr Kaiki was no longer in the Belmont Forest Park.

He also acknowledged an immediate daytime search of the park would have found Mr Kaiki before his family did.

Coroner Garry Evans said it was unfortunate Mr Kaiki's body was not found sooner, although it was understandable the discovery was delayed due to the terrain in the area.

He said police had learned lessons arising from Mr Kaiki's disappearance and death.

Mr Kaiki was found to have died after he accidentally fell from a ridge while cycling the Mill Stream track.

His mountain bike was in mid-gear, which suggested the steep gradient of the track had caught Mr Kaiki unprepared, forcing him to stop near the top of an incline.

It was likely he put his foot out to steady himself and fell 9m to the stream below.

The cause of death was found to be blunt force trauma to Mr Kaiki's head, neck and torso.

At the time of his death, his wife Debbie said he had loved the outdoors.

"He was looking forward to this bike ride and he was so happy that day. I said to him, `will you be safe?' He said `yes' and we said our goodbyes.''

Again this is another example of your idoitic views. Posting a comment on evolution in action in response to someone's death is not the behavior of a sane, rational person of importance. If anything by posting this you simply reinforce the view of many that you are a complete knob. Well done old chap..

Don't you believe in evolution? Not surprising, coming from a mountain biker.

BS. Sweeping it under the rug, as mountain bikers do, is the irrational behavior. Obviously, you want the deaths to continue!

Idaho mountain biker who died in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park identified

METRO VANCOUVER - A mountain biker who died on North Vancouver’s Lynn Headwaters Regional Park Monday after falling off a balance board has been identified as Jeffrey Fields.

The 38-year-old man from Boise, Idaho was found unresponsive on the Pipeline Trail on Mount Fromme at about noon by two other mountain bikers.

Attempts by the RCMP and North Shore Search and Rescue to revive the man failed.

De Jong said the man, who was wearing a helmet, was crossing a balance board used for a mountain biking skill test, but fell. He suffered head and neck injuries, but De Jong couldn’t say if that was the reason he died.

Coroner Barb McLintock says the family of Fields has been notified of his death. The Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate.

There is nothing about evolution here old chum. All you are doing is celebrating someone else's suffering. This sure doesn't make you look good. You come across as a psychopath.

Mountain biking is far from irrational behavior. Your ridiculous and unscientific posts, attitude towards offer people's suffering and your poorly constructed website are examples of irrational behavior. If you do have a Phd in psychology you should recognize the fact you desperately need therapy.

If you don't understand evolution, ask your mommie to explain it to you. Ever hear of "survival of the fittest"? Mountain biking is weeding idiots out of the genepool, thank God.

All you are doing is celebrating someone else's suffering. This sure doesn't make you look good. You come across as a psychopath.

Ah, Mickey. Ever with half the story and not the whole.

If you think it through properly, you will see that the mountain bikers who
make mistakes are the ones who unfortunately pay a price.

The ones who don't make mistakes go on to improve, and their children
improve, and better, more agile, stronger, faster mountain bikers is the
result.

It's not pleasant but it has ever been thus, with some of the hunters
falling prey to the quarry and some improving to become better.

You can look forward to some pretty good mountain bikers in coming
generations!

You, on the other hand, have nothing to contribute except the genes of a
Felon, and the work experience of a PhD-burger flipper.

Sad, really, but you've dug your pit.

EVERY mountain biker makes the mistake of mountain biking. Their tendency to have serious accidents and do other stupid things is legendary. Hence, evolution in action!

Luckily, the world is by now quite familiar with mountain bikers' tendency to lie about everything. Thanks for demonstrating that once again. You guys never learn. You are your own worst enemies.

Mikey - By making ridiculous statements against mountain biking you are 1. Promoting the sport and 2. showing your ignorance of environmental science and 3. Providing entertainment. I would suggest you apply for a tourism marketing role in New Zealand or Canada but I don't know if they would employ a grumpy old man who attacks people with pruning saws!
