Sounds like another case of should have worn more gear... Sad. I guess some folks just don't understand.

I'd think that it was blunt-force trauma to his torso that caused
his death. If that's the case, I don't know of any gear that'd saved
his life. That said, wearing gear definitely makes a difference in tons
of accidents.

Those who ride without helmets should, at the very least, wear good
eye protection as they have to be visually aware of their surroundings.
