Fabs, as someone that has made it through 6 heart attacks, I kind of see things from that fellow bike riders view. Maybe he was dead before he hit the ground, I don't know but I must say this. I was working with one man when I had the first attack. I was having those unreal chest pains and couldn't drive home because I kept passing out but I asked this guy before he left to have the garage mechanics check on me in a few min...since he was in such a hurry....well he left and did not contact anyone..I was on my own..well I learned long ago...count on nobody..I made it home....and on the 6th one I had, was just a yr ago I made it out of the woods and home and crawled out of my car and a neighbor that knows me started talking to me..I said...hey, I'm having bad problems again and can't talk...said this as I was hanging on my car ..I made a few more steps to the porch and as I fell I hit the door..my wife came to the rescue then...but the guy just said..ok...and went the hell home......I don't understand how you guys could continue to ride a bike past this man even if he was dead....where is the respect?...and I can't believe they even continued a bicycle race past him....every man for himself in this world I guess....just as my dad said ...learn to do it yourself cause you can't count on anyone else....I just feel for your fellow biker if he wasn't dead yet...knowing he was in the way...I watched an 18 yr old get run over 2 times with a large highlift..crushed him.but he was not dead..flopping around trying to get up...and about 30 people stood there with their hands in their pockets while this kid was in the deepest shi: of his life...I was the only one that ran to him in the middle of the field and kept him quiet till the life flight came to take him...didn't make it...but I could not go without helping this person in need..this is no pat on my back but a show of my disgust in those that don't help in a life/ death emergency...ok...I 'm....done!!!!!!!!!
