Bike racer died of natural causes

Updated 2 hours ago

ORO-MEDONTE TWP. - A 57-year-old Oshawa man who collapsed during a
mountain bike event at Hardwood Ski and Bike over the weekend died of
natural causes, an autopsy has concluded.

Henry Puchala of Oshawa was riding in the Epic 8 mountain bike race as
part of a relay at Hardwood Hills Saturday afternoon. He was part of a
four-person team in the event where participants were required to
complete a 10- kilometre mountain bike loop.

He collapsed and race personnel used an on-site defibrillator while
waiting for paramedics to arrive. He was rushed to Soldiers' Memorial
Hospital in Orillia where he was pronounced dead.


Ok, so a 57 year old man died during a mountain bike race, with the
autopsy determining his death to be of natural causes. That's tragic.
Your claim that mountain biking is not a healthy activity is entirely
unfounded. At no point does it say that he died as a result of his
participation in Mountain Biking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_exercise

Under the examples of aerobic exercise listed is Cycling, which
encompasses both on and off-road riding

http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/...es/adults.html

Mountain biking, as an aerobic activity, would therefore be part of a
healthy lifestyle for an adult age 18-64.

Please do not respond to this post by saying "did you say something?",
as you so often do, ignoring someone's statements in that manner is
simply a method of admitting that they are right. I would much prefer
you to actually comment upon what I (and others have to say), so that
we can engage in a proper, intelligent discussion or debate.

How "intelligent" is it to LIE???? You are being utterly dishonest. No

No, under cycling it does in fact include mountain biking. And while
the second article doesn't mention mountain biking, it mentions
aerobic activity, of which we know mountain biking is a part of. Its
adding one and one, like you so nicely put above.

And please point out where I have lied, I would be very interested to
hear it.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/healthy

Under the definition of healthy; "conducive to good health;
healthful: healthy recreations."

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/healthful

Under the definition of healthful; conducive to health; "1. wholesome
or salutary: a healthful diet.
2. healthy."

They are synonyms, which means that they are interchangeable.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/synonyms

Either is correct. And from now on please refrain from lecturing me on
my grammar or diction, it does not pertain to the discussion and
simply appears petty.

It's a blatant lie. It completely ignores the harm that mountain
biking does, including serious injuries and deaths It's pretty hard to
ignore that, but you managed to do it!
