How Did This Accident Occur?

When they hear about single-vehicle motorcycle accidents, many folks are content to assume they must have been caused by rider error. After over three decades in this line of business, though, I’m not so eager to make that assumption. I’ve actually come to believe that motorcyclists get a bad rap. I’ve seen plenty of similar cases over the last thirty years of my career in which evidence that went against the grain of stereotype ended up being unearthed through thorough investigation.

To be clear, I’m not trying to imply that I have more information about this particular accident than is already available to the public. I simply want to point out that, hypothetically, the wreck might have been a result of something gone wrong with the motorcycle itself, rather than driver error. Motorcycles, while smaller than passenger vehicles, are still complex machines, after all. What if it had experienced brake failure, for example? Or perhaps its throttle was having issues? Have tire blowouts or steering mechanism problems been considered? I understand that these suggestions are not very likely, but that does not mean they are altogether impossible.

I hope the investigators—whether the authorities or a third party—get an in-depth inspection done on the motorcycle. That’s what will be able to shed light on any mechanical malfunctions or product defects that played a role in the wreck which might otherwise have flown unnoticed under the radar. After all, the people affected by this accident deserve a clear and detailed understanding of how and why it happened. Surface-level investigation and the vague assumptions that often result just won’t cut it.
