This is a technique issue, not an equipment issue.
I love the way people that weren't there, haven't seen what the ground is like, have absolutely no idea what speed you were doing nor how tight the bend is and yet they suddenly become the overriding expert on exactly what happened on that particular ride
They don't even ask the question ... have you ever taken that route before .... probably assuming you haven't and it's a new ride ....
I take that route and that exact bend every single week and and have been through there at least 150 times so if my judgement is so skewed as you're suggesting how come the 1st 150+ times of taking the exact same corner were OK.
Sorry if my post seems a little strong in response but yours just seemed like you're the divine authority on a situation in which you weren't even present.
