Bingo on the Gravel thing. That is exactly why I got a Gravel bike. So I could ride the roads that cars tend to avoid. The gravel roads are just a byproduct of that.
And while you wreck far more often riding MTB than road, MTB is less likely to kill me or leave me with life-altering injury than road riding IMO.
But to the OPs point.... how does this accident change anything? This is sadly nothing new. It just happened to a famous person.
