one month passes...

http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/family-sues-strava-for-cycling-death-34299/

dude died while divebombing a descent after being deposed as kom.

"They (Strava) assume no responsibility. They don't put cones out. They don't have anybody monitor and see whether a course, or a specific segment, is dangerous," said Susan Kang, the lawyer representing Flint's family.

rip and condolences to the fam. im trying to think of similar circumstances where there is a duty of care.

Oh man

A ruling in the family's favor would set a pretty draconian precedent. There's a climbing website (8a.nu?) that is the de facto Internet ticklist; if someone died trying to get an FA of something, is the site liable?

Some insights:

I am friends with a former NVIDIA co-worker of the deceased and Kim was an equal daredevil on his motorcycle, "He loved bombing descents on two wheels."

From his online bio*: "I drive up and down interstate 880 a lot. If you are ever in the fast lane and you see me behind you, please move out of the way. I'm tired of having to pass all you slow people on the right."
So if he had died on Interstate 880 his family would have sued the US Dept of Transportation?

*http://www.kimflint.com/bio/bio.html

His girlfriend/partner/common-law wife was quoted** at the time of the accident as not blaming Strava for Kim's accident: "[Strava is] trying to do something to help motivate people. I think that's a good thing. [Kim] did frequently push himself to his limits ... in this case, his limit was not a good thing."

**http://archive.dailycal.org/article/109737/cyclist_killed_in_attempt_to_break_biking_speed_re

Actually for music geeks, he was a pretty influential as he founded the looper's delight mailing list that was very active in the late 90s-early 00s.

His family sounds desperate for a payout, and I have learned that Kim's partner/widow recently bought a big house in Auburn, CA and has been buying quite a bit of high-end kitchen and home improvement materials despite her employment listed as being a moderator of an unofficial Tori Amos fan page... :-\

i have yet to see anyone hipster on dual discs, but i spose that's happened, right?

life is good (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 17:34 (thirteen years ago)

I hope anyone stupid enough to ride dual discs on their hipster fixie has been blown into a river. It's all they deserve.
