Whoever the unnamed rider of this motorbike is, he is very fortunate to be alive. I have written about bad luck before; clearly this chap was unlucky to crash but, crikey, he was lucky to survive, despite his injuries, for three days afterwards, and to be found by the Police.
I am not a great believer in fate or destiny but every so often a story makes me think.
I love the written works of Terry Pratchett – in the Discworld series, Death is a character that carries hour glasses for all life forms. When a life form’s sand runs out, Death is there to collect them.
This rider joins Erin Langworthy in the ranks of those whose time just wasn’t up.
I wish him a speedy recovery.
UPDATE: 19/09/12
The rider's name has now been made public - Anthony Margrave, 40, from Goole, East Yorkshire. I am not surprised to find out he's a Yorkshire man; they make them hard up there!
