It's always the downhill that kills ya. If you can't handle the uphill - you just STOP. Can't make that turn on the downhill?

That's too bad.
Rolling downhill is fun but I always keep control of my speed.
The most dangerous part of climbing Mt Everest is the descent.
When you're tired, even walking down stairs can be dangerous.
However, this is one case of a cycling self-collision leading to death, which is rare. Now compared to self-collisions by drivers, almost every Friday or Saturday night.

So sad. It's not the speed that kills but the sudden stop.
